Never turning my back against
The Wailing Wall,
I walked away.
Looking up, I noticed
two black birds
facing each other on
The Western Wall
sitting in a crevice of the stone.
It would have been
a beautiful picture,
but I didn’t take it.
I honored the Sabbath instead.
Others took pictures,
but I didn’t.
I felt guilty and torn.
I wanted that photo,
but I was respecting the feelings
of the worshipers.
Against my will
I followed the rules of the Sabbath.
I have a thousand other pictures
that are beautiful and just as meaningful as
the one I didn’t take.
