Poetry || Submissions1453, 2003by Tucker LiebermanConstantinople fell. The moon blacked out.Eclipse as prophecy had come to pass. A half millennium (to make this fast) And half a century brought us to doubt, Again, the moon, the omen girt about With mist in its eclipse. A new morass: The Jewish synagogues were spraying glass, Four Turks dissolved in mist to die devout. The future state will make its plea and pray To quartz instead of iron. Light the fuse Of peace and see its heat perpetuate. The temple walls absorbed their DNA. Imagine amber, as they thought the Jews Immortal. Here we hang. The moon will wait. Tucker Lieberman is a graduate student at Boston University. His poetry has been featured on the MacNeill/Lehrer NewsHour and recently appeared online in The Courtship of Winds, The Animana Pages, and The Oracular Tree. This is his first appearance at Ariga.
