By Jane Medved –
When the wind sounds like a siren, find a stairwell
Within a city, in the event, in the vicinity of pillars.
All loans are forgiven. Lie on the ground.
On TV they show how to tie a tourniquet.
In the event, within a city, or the vicinity of pillars
Place heavy objects at the entrance, a refrigerator,
While the TV is teaching how to tie a tourniquet.
Tools for self: defense, harm, wound, slow down.
Place heavy objects at the entrance, a refrigerator.
From behind, the side, zig zag when being shot at.
Don’t slow down for defense, wound, harm, self.
Follow the procedures. Keep cell phones on silent.
From behind. From the side. Zig zag when shot at.
All loans are forgiven. Lie on the ground.
Follow the procedures. Cell phones on silent.
Not in the shower, or underneath a window.
Except in a ditch, or pulled out of a car.
Rocks, a metal buckle, if possible, a hand.
Keep silent in the shower. Find an inner stairwell.
The wind sounds like a siren, the motorcycle too.
Jane Medved is a poet living in Jerusalem
