On some other planet, you may be right (Israel) Yehuda Amyhai

On some other planet, you may be right

(Israel) Yehuda Amhi

"On some other planet, you might be right.

But not here. "You're halfway through your speech, and your words are sharp

Wept silently, like someone had written halfway through it

The ink in the pen dried, and it changed from blue ink to black ink.

And just like they used to change horses halfway.

The conversation grew more and more tiring and replaced with tears

It was fresh.

The seeds of summer flew into the place where we were sitting

room. In front of the window

There is an almond tree that grows black:

It is the eternity of sweetness and bitterness

Another warrior in battle.

Look, just as time is not in the clock

Nor is love in the flesh:

The flesh simply speaks of love.

But we'll remember tonight later

It's like swimmers will recall from a summer

Swim to another summer pose. "On some other planet

You may be right, but not here. ”
