My Gardener is enthusiastic.
He kills all the weeds in my garden,
Sweating conviction,
In purple droplets,
Muscles wet,
In the midday sun, he
Slaughters them,
My perfect weeds I spent so long cultivating,
Black,
And whites ones,
Jewish and Muslim,
Mayhem.
Now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba.
(Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim.)
And the land had rest from war,
But-
My gardener has turned into a terrorist, and
My weeds are no longer safe.
