an excerpt by Jacqueline Osherow
XI
I’m sure they never
dreamed of Jewish
beaches, lorded over
by luxury hotels,
with views of daughters
of Jerusalem, their
ornaments tinkling not
just on their feet but
in their belly?buttons,
shockingly visible
between their flimsy
smidgeons of bikinis …
(though there is – God
be praised – walled?in
section, which would
no doubt have enraged
progressive dreamers,
for women on odd,
men on even days … .)
