Pressure on My Heart
Had to venture out
No food - no thing
for any one
at all.
I walk with a stroller
because if I faint
I can always crash
into it first and
not onto pavement
Wheels serve double
duty as grocery cart
while holding me up
getting to the bus
stop - would video it
but the camera is too
heavy
It's a long walk onto
the highway
the middle of no where
crossing over to the
other side
and then waiting
waiting waiting for the bus
and it comes in due time
B"H
Coolness envelopes
Then the long bus ride
into the desert my eyes
focused on open spaces
and gleaning the energy
I will need when I dis
embark into the heat
Eyes averted down
down
The stroller opened
I lean and breathe
and hope I can make
it - dizzy now
been feeling low
since yesterday
stomach et al
Shopping for food
is hellish trying
to maneuver away
from crowds, into
faster lanes and
get out out out
as soon as possible
without fainting
Heart starts
beating so fast
I can't catch my breath
sweat is pouring from
my brow - I reach for
the water and just drink
gasping gasping gasping
Asking for help from
the hordes of Jewish
soldiers near the bus
help help I need help
And they see my face
whatever I look like
pioneer, settler, sick
person white as a ghost
with two scarves on
purple and green
And they heave
stroller and goods
into the bus for
me and it takes
a good 20 minutes
for my heart to return
to its state of just
gentle pounding.
I arrived home and this
is a miracle. I am claiming
it - here - now - for you to know
THIS IS A MIRACLE
that I was able to go
get food, walk - return
without dying.
Hashem is merciful to all of His creatures.
Amen,
Selah
Va-Ed.
