The sound of metal on metal.
\nThe sound of metal on bone.
\nGoat-trails on Judean hills.
\nCrowds surging against a gate.<\/p>\n
A grudge passed down from father to son.
\n Buzzing on the radio.
\n The struggle to cooperate.
\n A bite of camphor in the air.<\/p>\n
Rolling fields of rice, endless rows of corn.
\nA sacred cow’s swaying fat.
\nRed wine at the victory feast.
\nBrown water sloshing from a bucket.<\/p>\n
Rumors of the city.
\n The music of the desert.
\n Shanty towns and mausoleums.
\n Skyscrapers and pain medication.<\/p>\n
A child playing in an orchard.
\nThe wail of sirens.
\nA sigh of violins.
\nThe splash at the bottom of the well.<\/p>\n
Warehouses full of paper.
\n Neighbors screaming through the wall.
\n A bottle smashed on brick.
\n A broken promise.<\/p>\n
Sweat on the parchment.
\nA gathering of friends.
\nA man dying in a valley.
\nA woman sobbing in an empty room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
