MEMORIES

They lengthen with the years
like the bangs hiding my eyes.
Koo-koo!  Koo-koo!
No one sees me.

And what can I do with them
if not pull them back from my face
gather them into the tail
of a Trojan horse
opening all the gates to the past.

זיכרונות 

זיכרונות 

הֵם מִתְאָרְכִים עִם הַשָּׁנִים
כְּמוֹ פּוֹנִי הַמַּסְתִּיר אֶת עֵינַי:
קוּ-קוּ! קוּ-קוּ!
אַף אֶחָד לֹא רוֹאֶה אוֹתִי.

וּמָה לַּעֲשׂוֹת בָּהֶם
אִם לֹא לִמְשֹׁךְ מֵהַפָּנִים אָחוֹרָה,
לֶאֱסֹף לִזְנַב סוּס         
טְרוֹיָאנִי
הַפּוֹתֵחַ אֶת כָּל הַשְּׁעָרִים לֶעָבָר.
