Two Children Vendors:
(Jerusalem)

- Abstract

It is when the streets stream with night’s
     abandon
and festive cafes, gloomy,
open wide their doors and spill
their yellow laughter onto the pavement
that they stand with their backs
to wide windows’ light
and command “Chokolad!”
with their young voices
that are as gloves
over the hard brown fists of their youth.
