Jerusalem 

by Marc Mangel

Jerusalem is a trickle of lights

in hills as the sun

falls red

and cold

or a tinkle of wind

in the trees

as the

low clouds

race past

 

Jerusalem is luminous.

White

light or black

and

light day or night

but always luminous

shining

flourescing at is own

mystical

wavelenght

 

And Jerusalem is majestic

rising with King David

would like to see

a majestic city

carved for God

to trickle

tinkle

flouresce
