Café Apropos

With the logic Of passion spent, attention turns to detailed analyses of burned buses Sibling ancestors  watching in horror, cringe and gesture at election results Charlatans sweat; flush with the carnality of placing blame Come now, carefully, through the eye of the needle into Jerusalem, become drunk on mothers' milk, see innocence exploded in the marketplace. Peak out behind  the bunker wall of Diaspora. Talk into the night, Hide. Somewhere, behind orange trees on a dark city street littered with blood and the broken bones of promises someone is sewing a white flag
