Poetry & Photography

Childhood in China
In a sea of Chinese,
awaiting my visa.
Two hours pass,
a sweet ounce of childhood
Dances around me.
Running with red dragons;
she radiates golden light.
I observe from my seat;
she from her heart.
Transported to my Chinese childhood,
the girl dances. |

Pesach In Burma
To the synagogue,
my Jewish soul floats.
Military marches,
heart expires.
Burmese energy,
pulse on fire.
Passing over perceived gates,
flying, receiving our fates.
Pesach arrives in Rangoon.
