ON A CARPET OF CLOUDS
Brother, when you fly to California
on an El Al 767
remember to pass on to her the fragrant scent
of a blooming orchard
watermelon, sea salt,
the sand of the chamsin, and shade of the palm tree
the sound of flute, the harp's string
a night on the Kinneret
and soldiers on the road
end of the war.
You're high,
oh so high
on a carpet of clouds
thinking only of her
longing
you are fleeing.
Brother, when you fly to California
on an El Al 767
tell her what is going on at home
olive branches
eukalyptus, fig
grove of pines, light blue sky
sprinkler and laughter of a child
take a souvenir to her
soldiers on the road
end of the war.
