Into birthday season out
in Israel among nephews
& here my kids age too at
speed –
My mother added
one more
[an-other story
of forever-forgetting] –
So
does time go into now-&-
then hidings?
Regrets not
a sweet fruit
[if sucked on
& chewed] –
But I haven’t
been there in years –
I aim
at a flit return this month
on cramped flights
[along
with bewailing Israelis] –
I
disrelish seated resettlers
& flag-shaggers –
I’ll hand
out loud wishes for peace
among family & friends in
every
[raucous] gathering
