The Night Before The Wailing Wall

However many thousand years of

hopes

and then me pressed among them.

Cracked gulfs between the stone lie

vacant and waiting.

Are the stones themselves stiff

as parentheses holding

the dreams?

Or the dreams

archers bows pulled

taught and ready to

pounce;

arms to ancient bricks

lest they forget themselves and

crumble into 

memory?
