“i loved you quietly wanting only to baptise you with light upon light for the way you laugh into your neck in the courtyard of your dreams i loved you soft like satin wind gliding across the river of music and memory i kissed the cherry trees you crossed the scent of nostalgia wild under warm vernal rain i danced without a sound i loved you solely you between damp pages of starlings and songs while the moon wept i held you like a holy yes in my infinite solitude”

“Hora to an Exiled Girl A hora, roaring, tempestuous, blazes around me With the mystery of rhythm, gladdening and forging, It tugs at my body and heart The foot marches, the back quivers, the song is ignited, a searing chorus Dance and song, a wordless prayer, Hail to the future, hail to creation But then a figure flutters before my eyes My arm has escaped my friends’ embrace My heart spurns the tempestuous singing, Far and near it consumes me whole Blue eyes Such a bewildered glance A sad silence and a stubborn mouth The stillness grows in me I remain standing Alone, in a crowd of a hundred, her and I (Translation by Elie Leshem)”
