Untitled from the series: Evening Poetry Walk
Thousands of email spams later and what do I have to show?
A new online Poetry Journal called
Its their first edition, not a bad show for a first!
Full Frontal Judaism
(extract)
To lift up these hills which mutilate
my face like swollen lumps
this plastic surgery of exile
contorting my cheekbones with the bloating, bulging
of a victim’s cry, you see this hunchback
is but a table which got stuck under my shirt while
I was trying to hide under its scared surfaces
Adam Shechter
Any way check them out, be bold
and submit something for their Second Edition.

PIDYON SHEVOYIM
Will not this shadow ever fall
Against tear-streaked Western Wall?
Who knows, who knows, I cannot tell,
In hope I live for Yisroel.
Pidyon shevoyim, no greater cause,
Such love breaks down the highest walls.
Oh, happy stars, set free to roam;
Jerusalem, I long for home!
Edwin Yosef Vogt
