They used to shout.
It was
father
and son
Who had
come
across from Qalquilia
To
facilitate
early-days
recycling.
Ambushing
Yiddish
And Hebrew,
Transmogrified
Into Arabic.
Their
donkey
was close to its end;
staggering in the heat.
Melting
Tarmac
And
Heat haze
Wavering.
No one was quite sure how to act.
