      Poetry Submission: tisha b'av by Yaakov Levy


      tisha b'av

      by Yaakov Levy


      i can smell
         the smoke

      2,000 years  later

      all   of   jerusalem

          in  flames

      our  hearts

        still  burning

      in   exile

      even in israel

      our   souls,

      exiled   from

      the Shechinah,

      weep   and

        mourn

      for   our

      Home.

       

      c. 7/19/10 yl

      "Home" Har Habayit, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem
      "Shechinah", the Divine Presence
