This Bench [a #poem]
© Rabbi Menachem Creditor
A soldier who looked like me
walks by the bench
where I sit drinking my morning coffee.
The bench is surrounded
by Jewish dumpsters
and Jewish buses,
Jewish flowers.
The bench has a small sign
affixed to it. The sign reads:
'In memory of our dear mother
Hannah Hutrer, 1909 - 2004
Survivor of the Shoah.'
I sit on a survivor's bench
surrounded by Jewish flowers.
