Spinning Lights/ Tali Weiss
Lights are spinning in my body
Having rinsed the darkness from myself,
A wonderful feeling, primeval;
And good that no one saw
How scared I was of the darkness,
A clear, deep seated fear
Without resistance or thought beyond.
And then, spinning lights
And you roll up.
A fleeting visit is enough
To become flooded with light and happiness,
Yearning.
How much beauty does this light contain
Spinning in my body, bursting all constraints
As well as a surplus of excuses.
Finally the dams have ruptured
Bridges have collapsed.
I gush into the lights
All of me is one big light
From the edge of darkness to here.
(Translated from Hebrew by Uri Themal)
