Diaspora

I say Kaddish for my parents
at the Wailing Wall
and then find two stones
to take home
and place on their graves.
 
On the flight home,
the pilot announces
we’ll stop on Cyprus to refuel:
the gas from Ben Gurion
might be contaminated with explosives.
I miss all my connections.
 
The journey of two stones
could have been so simple.
