also, sometime in early November - ערב שבת, פרשת לך לך
The Bike Crash
The rains started on Friday.
down a hilly shortcut
my bicycle buckled under the weight
of my efforts
back wheel sliding in
like a baseball player
and over the handle bars I skimmed
hipsarms knee
wet
dirty
with bloody skin exposed
I continued on in the downpour
I continued on to hesitant hopes
and tiresome thoughts.
A long bus ride ahead
alone in a sea of deceitful screens
I am not sure what relief is
but it may have been
sushi rolls in the sunlight at Kikar Rabin
