and she was wind blown and 'war torn'....

as if she'd been riding in a convertible for years,
with the top down.....
while gangsters in 'unmarked vans' threw grenades and lilacs...
you read correctly !
LILACS....
for in the end of the day, it wasn't really ALL SO BAD.....

through the entrapments......
through the sandstorms and ever through the
 CAMEL DUNG.....

had she finally arrived at that 'point of demarcation'?

there was a man, in a prayer shawl.......
in the distance....
blowing a SHOFAR.....

and on the opposite horizon....
there was a 'robed' figure in 'child pose'......
on a mat...
bent in prayer of some sort.....

AND SHE WAS SMACK IN THE MIDDLE !!

well.....
let's be honest.....
she was a tad to the right !
