lyrics

Spring 1978

A shy, introverted woman, Gail Rubin, 39, had returned to her home, Israel, from New York, some years earlier. Her aunt was married to the brother of Senator (D-Conn), Abraham Ribicoff.

Gail often wandered alone on an isolated beach near her kibbutz, taking pictures of the many seabirds which congregated there. The day in question included the newly-formed PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization). The PLO came ashore for their first foray and encountered Ms. Rubin.

Solitary watcher of birds
Death rises dripping from the sea
Wrong beach today
