this summer was like
lucid dreaming an exorcism,
watching the little skeleton rise and scream and shatter
I bit into a mouthful of summer, expecting
sugar, and buttery love, but instead got a mouthful of
blood and broken teeth and shattered souls
I wrote this while living in Jerusalem during the 2014 summer "tzuk eitan" or "operation protective edge". Thought it was pertinent due to what's going on now with the wave of terror again in Israel.
