In my uncle’s café
Columns crack
Crack and protest
When will he understand?
That made up homes
Have cracked columns
“This is your home country”
He yells, I roll my eyes
The underground café
Built in the foundation of a church
A Roman church
That’s how old it is
They demolished the church
Erased its foundation
And built the café
Then built Israel
And the column cracked
