It's the imprint that it makes, really.
There is little relation to
the covenants we have sworn
or the gildings of rehashed
sobriety or leftover temple
bricks, baked clay tablets
on which someone records
these scenes, fragments,
scents, and colors.
How can we reap this Zion?
Can it be gathered as wild
sweet strawberries are,
torn away from their source?
Can it be processed electrically?
Can we make money off it?
If so, how many dinars
would you offer?
One? Two? Perhaps
a discount for quantity?
