Poem by Tali Cohen Shabtai - Jerusalem, Israel

I planted you, my love,I planted you

And how come what flowered was not what was planted/and the bearing dod not yet give birth

What was born

How come what did not wane could be weakened

And on the other hand,the trouble is.

And only into my life they husked this mix

Of how and why, the slips I saved

From your eyes.

Tali Cohen Shabtai
