Pity us
By the sea
On the sands
So briefly—Samuel Menashe (1925-2011)

Windowed I observe
The waning snow
As rain unearths
That raw clay—
Adam’s afterbirth—
No one escapes
I lie down, immerse
Myself in sleep
The windows weep—Samuel Menashe (1925-2011), “Downpour”
never enough
Sometimes, it seems, nothing is more precious than clarity.
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Partita No. 2 in C minor
Tatiana Nikolayeva (1924-1993), piano

The hill I see
Every day
Is holy—Samuel Menashe (1925-2011)
