Every Rose Has A Thorn: Sarah


Sarah

I found her (no) she found me?

sitting on a suitcase.

Nine hundred (other) Marchers to meet
but our smiles matched.

We dozed on (dirty) Polish buses
sharing identical nightmares.

Indulged in (millions) of Sweetarts
Dextrose sticky sweet.

Sang off key (haunting) Hebrew melodies
and bad eighties dance tunes.

We whispered (wise-ass) comments
to survive ghastly camps.

Celebrated with (shaving) cream cans
and kisses on wet cement.

Danced, went (crazy) everywhere
including the Golan.

Pulled each other through (reality), life
when we made it back.
