Shimon hashachen...

SIMON THE NEIGHBOUR

MY NEIGHBOR SIMON DIED 3 DAYS AGO 

And in the floating mailbox
the letters overflow to the floor
I'll skip over in order not to get dirty
and I'll go.
The sun warmed up and it's a little icky
and one needs to return to the garage again
even the coffee spilled,
now it's sticky,
this skirt is short and it's pestering.

Simon the neighbour passed away 3 days ago
right at the entrance of the hospital
they even put a sign on the door
it's already 5 years, he says hello so fast,
I was scared of you without even knowing you
it's weird, it's dark in apartment number one.

When the traffic light changes from red
I almost burnt the whole day like this
even sorrow suddenly landed and doesn't wanna leave
no, it's not good
how did we not leave a cheque at the wedding
I'm calling again but she's not available
she's surely sleeping next to him in bed,
she deserves him and he deserves her.

Simon the neighbour...

Three days ago
right at the entrance of the hospital
they even put a shield on the door
it's already 5 years, he says hello so fast,
I was scared of you without even knowing you
it's weird, it's dark in apartment number one.

They say he wasn't exactly ok
he took medicine in order to leave the room
because of the fear he did not speak too much
he had one female friend
maybe
