I reach out but do not reach
Silence down the years
All my fears and doubts
All my terror tears

Chicago for one year
Probably a mistake
London for one week
Lady of the Lake

Tel Aviv was blue
My oldest son can bake
Jerusalem was brown
Please do not forsake

Politics portends
Demagogues appear
The silence never ends
Ambiguous unclear

             Cordelia
         Not King Lear
