Translated from Hebrew by Vivian Eden and Karen Alkalay-Gut
It is not the forest that wanders
in the thicket of our lives
not the dust that covers
our deaths
but we
we
not the sea that drowns
in our veins
not the light that sinks
in all our ways
but we
we
not the Place that hears
our silences
not the dream that determines
our thoughts
but we
we
alone
Translated by Vivian Eden
