you read from your new politicized work
PLO sympathies show up in your
Jerusalem poems
your voice trembles
as it always does
when you come up against something
you feel passionately
in the audience my heart stretches
tauter than drumbskin
it vibrates with ancestral pain
trembles
as it always does
when i come up against something
i feel passionately
when you leave the stage
there's no olive branch
you simply say
"we need dialogue"
i agree
the whole story must be told
Jerusalem
in Her many voices
