ESCAPE FROM NAZARETH

Folder: 
CONVENIENT GAPS

 

 

Drunken & beaten

    Arabian knights fall

         & watch an escape

            from Nazareth

 

Magazine jailbirds

            Claw at my heart

 

               I jump

    up from the kitchen sink

 

I enter the sky

 

       I crawl off

  the killing floor

            

              just

    in the nick of time

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written in 1985.  I was born in Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia in 1966.  I settled for listening to the band called Nazareth until 2014 when I visited the actual city of Nazareth in Israel.

I didn't get to spend a lot

I didn't get to spend a lot of time but it was interesting.  It's up north so it's not as heavily populated or trafficed as some other areas.  There's an interesting blend of ancient buildings and newer structures. I visited the Underground Synogogue Church which is a church built on the ruins of a synogogue in which Jesus reputedly studied.  If I make it back to Israel,(which I hope to do in the next 5-6 years) I'll try to spend more time there.
