Jerusalem

Dear Alleys, Roads, Streets,

I have walked on your footsteps.

I have slipped in your freshly washed surfaces.

I have had my toes stubbed  by  heavily laden carts and  familiar strangers.

I have been engulfed by black and white  masses making their way

to and from your holy places.

I have touched your cool walls, seeking support and comfort

in the midst of hunger and confusion.

I have heard the horrors of hysteria

echoing through your ancient corridors.

I have learned to rise above the whispers of your existence.

Sincerely yours,

Sauci Bosner
