SHULAMIT-SAPIR -NEVO

 


I Asked

 

I asked,

Don’t step on the rain

We'll tread in between the drops

Maybe, here in this field

Love lies waiting,

Love still wild,

 

Love,

Which we haven't yet

touched.

 

Foxes

 

I don't know a thing

About foxes

I see the nails through their Sweaty eyes

That's why I left

But he persists

Bringing me a ripe moon

Under its light breaking into A dervish dance

Until he falls as dead

I don't draw near

To hear his wakened heart

As I've already said

What do I know about foxes?

(C) Shulamit Sapir -Nevo

Gulls Made Love

 

Gulls Made Love

On the water

I heard the sea

Pass gently

Between them

Even the surrounding sands

Held off the while.

(C) Shulamit Sapir -Nevo

 

Translated By Mel Rosenberg

 

I Yearn

 

Sometimes

I yearn

For things

That might have happened

For waves rushing ashore

And flooding me,

 

If I were the sand,

And you the sea.
