Sky of Jerusalem. A contradictory canvas for prayers, tears, enlightenment, hate.
Chaining skies.
Changing skies.
From red to grey to light blue to red again.
Birds in the sky like a wired score
a reflection of the soil
below
and its habitants
moving up and down
blocked,
frozen,
then very fast
frightening,
then frightened
grieving,
then looking for a kill
pointing up
tension
and reliving down.
It is a metaphor without a clear subject
It is a metaphysical equation of the daily
It is a prayer and research for
the meaning of all this.
