Rachel Yatzkan: Gaba’im
Texts: Yehonadav Perlman
Translations from Hebrew: Orit Perlman
Prayer to the moon
Oh the beauty!
Oh the wonder!
Light of the Shkhinah* upon me
Still a star whispers
What on my face hovers
Prayer to the Sun
Bless you shining one
As you sink, disipate
On wing of your dawn
The voice will come
Line to line will drawn
By budding sea
* Female manifestation of God
Two-Backed
Front and back you made me
Male and female created me
Two-faced created me
Sawed and crafted me
Two-backed My elbows And little
Finger
Hip Surfing
Joint of ankle
Hung with hundreds Of Bells
Scattered on Wind
Tom Innocence
Tehom Abyss
