-
- THE MEMORY OF THE STREETS
-
- They wanted to forget
- And we wanted
- to remember
-
- We asked about the odors
- And they smiled
- Then they said
- Why would you
- want to know
-
- We asked about the streets
- About the corners
- About the names
- And they said
- That is the past
-
- But our questions were
- our most urgent present
-
- They didn't want to remember
- And we didn't want to forget
-
- We held on to every face in our memories
- To every street to every corner
- To the children we were
- We remembered the color of the sand
- And the smell of shells
- The view of the sea
- And a few people
- We held on to things
- Because our lives
- Depended on them
-
- We held on to fragments of our memories
- Till the horns of the altar
- But our parents wanted to forget
-
- We will never know what they wanted to forget
- Was it the gentle and beautiful memories
- Or the memory of the hard change
- Was the confrontation so hard
- The abyss between the present and the past
- Did they think from time to time they made a mistake
- And erased these thoughts forgetting
-
- They wanted to forget
- But didn't succeed
- in making us forget.
-
-
-
-
- 2000 YEARS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
-
-
- We missed Jerusalem
- and not Tel Aviv
- we missed
- the temple
- and not McDonald
- and now everybody's talking
- about common sense
- economic future
- Israeli shares
- standard of leaving
- and financial peace
- for every piece.
-
- And I say to you
- all these things will pass
- from the world
- and forever
- in this world
- will remain
- the longing.

- SO LONG WONDERFUL ATHEIST
-
-
- I read Bukowsky
- so long
- my friend
- hope you have
- discovered
- there's life after
- the tomb
- the horses
- the women
- and
- the wine
- and I say to myself
- what's a guy like me
- who believes
- in the coming of the messiah
- and the reconstruction of the temple
- doing
- reading Bukowsky
- and it reminds me of a poet friend
- who used to read Elliot
- in the synagogue
- Elliot may be ok
- but Bukowsky...
-
- yes, it is coming
- I prefer one Bukowsky
- a German guy telling the truth naked
- to a thousand rabbis
- discussing the Kashrout of a cucumber
-
- And immediately after saying it
- I feel Tremendous
- guilt.
