Short Pogrom Poems

RISING HOPES
Having passed through 
And unearthed death’s broken myth
Eschewing its pogrom
We’ve got new life,
Our fears and sorrows are gone
Gone forever
And our hopes are rising....

The independent woman

Prejudiced in Eden
Scorned in time
Lame and down the pit
But still journeys West
With a vindictive heart
Swims in vileness
Reckons laughter in the pogrom

while i always went to bed
with shoes on my feet...
