The Place Where We Are Right
POETRY FORMAT, 28 Aug 2017
Yehuda Amichai – TRANSCEND Media Service
“From the place where we are right
flowers will never grow
in the Spring.
The place where we are right
is hard and trampled
like a yard.
But doubts and loves
dig up the world
like a mole, a plough.
And a whisper will be heard in the place
where the ruined
house once stood.”
