The River Euphrates
by
Jude Eydmann
Beyond the iron clouds
Lay a summer sky -
Above the city.
Amongst dishevelled urban dwellers
(who hastily travel on ground
beneath which our fathers sleep)
I found my friends.
So in the discord of divided city
I do not dread imprisonment
Where fragments of laughter
Are pulled along
With the angry roar of traffic.
Past the moondust in my eyes,
The soldiers will find recollection.
My soul was born,
Before time began,
Where the Euphrates
Thundered
To the endless sea.
