HEART VALVE
HEART VALVEWhy do you persist
heart valve
in growing narrower and narrower
after all you will not
filter out the sorrow in the world
you will not abate the pain

HEART VALVE
מסתם הלב
לָמָּה אַתָּה מִתְעַקֵּשׁ
מַסְתֵּם הַלֵּב
לִהְיוֹת צַר יוֹתֵר וְיוֹתֵר
הֲרֵי לֹא תְּסַנֵּן אֶת צַעַר הָעוֹלָם
לֹא תְּמַתֵּן אֶת הַכְּאֵב
לָמָּה אַתָּה מִתְעַקֵּשׁ
מַסְתֵּם הַלֵּב
לִהְיוֹת צַר יוֹתֵר וְיוֹתֵר
הֲרֵי לֹא תְּסַנֵּן אֶת צַעַר הָעוֹלָם
לֹא תְּמַתֵּן אֶת הַכְּאֵב
