cathartic nights
deep within our ancestral lust
we bury ourselves,
consider one another’s fervent longing,
Alyia homeland
mouths to breasts Aramaic tongues entwined,
unconscious deep breaths
ceremonious metaphorical exchanging of skins,
perfect unblinking eye to eye mind within mind,
mantra hora liquid mellifluous dance,
bearing a just Yisrael,
a hip Palestine
and when our arms at last surrender,
when brash legs toss across those phantasmagorical Gaza borders,
Yerushalayim will join our embrace,
an unlikely union
propagating further millennium:
ShemaYisrael, all are blessed by HaShem: lovers, armies,
and then our reborn
