Poem
Benjamin Shvili
TIMES ARE HARD MAN
times are hard man the hardestso perhaps you’ll come
just for me
without a donkey without Jerusalem
defiled with leprosy
just to me
tonight

In Jewish tradition, the Messiah is expected to enter Jerusalem on a donkey. According to Christian tradition, Jesus did enter the city on a donkey.
