(one of my favorite poems - LCE)
I love the doves
of Jerusalem
which sail and squabble
over the Temple Mount
and nest
impartially
in the Western Wall
and the Dome of the Rock
the Yeshiva Porat Yosef
and the museum of Al-Aksa
these doves
they are lovers of Jerusalem
as she is
in her messiness
and her frenzy
no doubt they pray
these doves
daily
three times
and five
for the peace
of Jerusalem
