The war between Hamas and IsraeldossierThe Israeli author published in the newspaper “Yedioth Aharonot” this poem translated from Hebrew for “Liberation” by Michel Eckhard Elial.
My hair is blonder than sand
on which they ride.
My lips full of words
as sharp as a knife
who cut my throat.
If my eyes hypnotize you, put a token
in the wheel of fortune
which turns under the eyebrows.
Don’t ask my name, imagine my hands
attached to a body that was so beautiful
under my neck.
Cast now on the shame of the earth
like a simple banana peel.
The sun was shining, written
the poet,
All I am is a model of darkness.
No more.
