Jerusalem
Time, like a grinning gunman,
Relentlessly pursues this city
Fierce as knives, with its jagged history
Lonely even in its shock of people
Where flowers poke like sudden memories
Through the age-old intransigence of stone.

Nice set up of contrasts you’ve created in the piece…the violent images sit really well with the emerging flowers..makes you think it’s a place where anything is possible. Is this a new piece by chance, or just a fitting time to post something old?
This was absolutely stunning. It made me stop and close my eyes and take a deep breath.
