The years have their way of wreaking changes
hidden and secret.
It
is simple for her to remember this.
Grand days have gone by her.
What a pity that now, so near the end,
she's suddenly lost the ability
to remain among the living.
Translated from the Hebrew by Tsipi Keller
SAMUEL MENASHE
In
the Ring
Knock yourself out
Shadow boxing-
Skull numb, mouth dry–
Blind the mind's eye
"Can these bones live?"
Ezekiel 37,3
Sockets eyes hallowed
In hollow skulls
Whose teeth jaws lock
At rock bottom–
Bones flesh fails
Scale the rock
