Lea
by Alan MahoodWell, I saw Tommy
And he was talking about
Lea
Wondering where she is now
I closed my eyes,
And I was back in Tel Aviv
Watching the Mediteranean wash
The beach clean of the garbage of
Millenia and seeing
Storks soaring up in tight spirals
Ever higher until they became barely
Visible dots drifting south
Uneffected by the problems of
Men, uncaring of lovers lost
Far away.
Sometimes I wonder if any of
This circus side show called
Life has meaning other than
To watch the birds
Soaring away.
