We call people
to ask if they’re ok
read the paper then
Haaretz
and Al Jazeera
listen to experts and imagine
so many frightened children
so many mothers up all night
and then the sounds of war
problem of Netanyahu
problem of people living in Gaza
we who are as secular as possible
we celebrate all that can be celebrated
we find ourselves sitting
on a bench outside\
just praying.
Looked for you on various benches by the green and flea markets---- alas, no sighting
