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)
