Streets of Jerusalem

"Streets of Jerusalem

Who am I

but a speck in Jerusalem’s lavish story

Yet I shop in Superdeal where Jeremiah walked by,

attend lectures at Hebrew U

(where Ezekiel preached too)

visit my sister next to King Saul’s home,

wander the Botanical Gardens where David met Samuel,

catch a movie at the Cinematheque

near the site of Molech child sacrifice,

meet for a coffee by First Temple era graves

where Zedekiah tried to escape

And find Zechariah

among the elderly,

children playing nearby

Zechariah 8:4-5"
