She knew in her mind that
she was not to turn,
as her husband would not turn, steadfast to
G-d, but the screams of
destruction from the skies
reminded her of the cries
of her own daughters
in the cradle,
and more from instinct
than with any intention
she looked to the
target of the wrath
and felt her limbs
turn, immobile and helpless
and tasted salt in her mouth
as if she drank
her own tears.
