See them, then they're gone
magical films and rain days
too soon gone, like us
It's that time again
Shut the lights, check the pockets
Shabbat Shalom world
Shabbats, like snowflakes
Each unique one, melts is gone
Impressions live on
One day in hunger
I won't turn to food or drink
I will turn to G-d
For seven weeks we
get ready for the wedding
Then we marry G-d
I will praise you G-d
for your having moved me up
up against your wall
I fast, shed flesh
sacrifice to You
reiach nichoach
Jerusalem streets
wind through my insides like veins
time does not matter
Living here is hard
says everyone who lives here
then they say come
In Israel too
it takes over at some point
we lie down and sleep
