The Poet

Forever is here.

If I promise today

I promise the rest of my life.

The point is not merely

my commitment

but the effect of mortality

on my every decision.

You and I

have stories to tell

our listening children.

They want to know

why their eyes

are half open.

I have choice.

In each step I take

and word I express.

I choose You.

בגלל‏ גודל המדינה

.‏ובגלל המדינות מסביב לה

,‏אבל מתחת לזה

.‏יש הרגשה שאי אפשר להסביר בלי לחיות כאן

.‏אין לנו המילים

It is our story to tell

and our story to pull

from the periphery

to remind ourselves and all people

what hate can do

when instilled into society.

What is buried within you

is the excess you carry

unknowingly.

I am unattached from my beauty.

She and I are friends now.

I do not take from her.

She does not take from me.

We are not the same.

She is my means

of moving in the world

and I am her mind.

We most likely will not agree unanimously.

We carry passports from different countries, and speak mother tongues that do not understand each other.

We unite in belief, values and history.

We share the beauty and trauma of a people of more than 3,500 years.

From Israel to the diaspora,

and back again.

Our immoralities

are not our evil

and are not meant

for shame.

Wisdom comes from it.

The content have nothing to attain.

An answer within a question

raised to be misunderstood by

most of the readers.

If there is no choice in a decision,

forgetting one’s desire,

they will doubt.

They were made a prisoner.

.‏יש סדר לעולם

אם תראה את עצמך מהעבר

.תחשוב שהוא מישהו אחר

אם תראה את עצמך במצב אחר

.תחשוב שהוא לא אתה

.כל יום שוכחים שיש לנו נשמה משותפת‏
