Memory

Written by Zeev Kachel

Translated by Uvi Poznansky


When the past becomes your present
And follows you everywhere
Like a hunting dog, it's so intent
Then memory becomes despair
Memory, by a sudden spell
Then becomes your daily routine
Reality turns into hell
A crazy race to the unseen
You set your ladder on a ripple
No wonder that you fell, you cripple

      It is. His poetry is truly soulful. Yours reminds me of his at times...

    Gosh, Uvi, that's a wonderfully poignant poem and I love the story behind it and also your drawing for the cover. Talented family!
