עיניים זרות [Einaim Zarot] [English translation]

Darkness

I didn’t see anything.

Unfamiliar eyes lost data.

I tried to turn my skin inside out

But the internal skin resembled mine too much.

I wanted to shove aside the years that stand between us

Without understanding

That there is no weapon in the world that, simply from the forcefulness of my love,

Will subdue time.

I won’t stop wanting.

I won’t stop wanting.

I won’t give in to this idea

That it isn’t possible, because it isn’t possible

And it isn’t possible.

It’s a matter of survival

Even if you tell me that enough already, and it’s over.

I have no choice but to want the possible.

Days

Days into nights

A hug that doesn’t end

And then in a moment it ends.

And when the emptiness exposes its face

It seems as if all that I wanted

Will never come

But

I won’t stop wanting…

Silence

Silence in the living room

Silence in the kitchen

Silence also on the phone.

All I wanted was to sleep,

But the petrifying noise penetrated my dream.

And finally, the story comes to an end.

I unwillingly sign the discharge papers.

I won’t stop wanting…
