KAMTI
Ma'aseh shehayah kach hayah nishba
kamti yom shlishi echad male behasharah
k'mo gar'inim berimon
hatext ke'ilu ba li bachalom,
mishum makom yashar lamo'ach
bekoshi hispakti einaim lifko'ach
k'shekol hahavarot lo bikshu hab'harot
hityashvu bamakomot,

chashti betzurah yoter memuchashit,
yoter mimamshit shshsh*t!
Yesh li po lahit, tavnit mascharit

Kamti atzmi ni'arti,

lehefech miharti lemachshev
vetoch pachot me'arbaim dakot asiti keta

Ha'optimiut shehaytah menat chalkei dakot arukot

ki pit'om nafal hachashmal
venichvah hamachshev
va'ani k'mo metumtam, ani lo lachatzti SAVE.

I GOT UP
The story that was so, I swear
got up one Tuesday full of inspiration
like seeds in a pomegranate
the text comes to me as though in a dream
from nowhere straight to the brain
hardly managed to open my eyes
when all the vowels asked for no clarification
just sat in their places,
in pairs like Noah's ark
I felt more physical
mmmore practically, shhh*ttt!
I've got a hit here, a commerial formula
for a rosy future, at least financially.
Got up, shook myself up,
pulled away from the desire to chill
quite the opposite I hurried to the computer
and within less than 40 minutes finished a piece
painful but influential
agressive but vulnerable
biting but calming
pantheonistic, archaistic
built so solidly
it's almost architecturalistic
and with a real meaning
but nevertheless radiophonic
Amazing piece son of a thousand b*tches
flows like Tzin Valley moves in floods
like Israeli Rail hitting off the tracks
in all directions
whacks like a hammer on schnitzels,
sticks like a traffic warden to cars
parked on red and white white white
Got up...
The optimism that part-filled the whole time
switched in a second to a depressing flow
'cuz suddenly the electricity dropped
and made the power cave.
And me like an idiot, I didn't press 'save.'
