Old Buk in the holy city
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By Moshe Benarroch

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.
