On A Bench In Jerusalem Poem by Andrew Jacobson
On A Bench In Jerusalem
Rating: ★3.8
On a bench in Jerusalem,
a woman with a hijab.
Beside her, a man,
tickling her through the black cloak.
Laughing first, then convulsions:
her body clenches,
knees to chest,
like a fetus in the womb.
And I, observing this,
become also,
like a fetus in the womb.
