The lost man

Written by Yona Levy Grosman

Translated by Lami Halperin.

The lost man and suisidal woman
Born of one womb.
The warming sun
Will not help,
The caressing wind,
The soft sand
Spring flowering
And clear water
To drink one’s fill,
Won’t help.
The lost man
And the suisidal woman
Sated from the same wellspring
And drinking from the same breast,
Knowing,
Not knowing,
Lost born of one womb
And nothing can help.
