Adi Assis

GENESIS

In the beginning
he created an ear for himself
and didn’t hear.
Created a mouth
and didn’t speak.
Created a pen and tacked it on his ear.
He vomited ink all day long
and then there was evening.
He created a sleeve to wipe
the oozing blue.
Didn’t succeed.
The ink became dark,
and stars emerged.

בְּרֵאשִׁית

בְּרֵאשִׁית

בְּרֵאשִׁית
בָּרָא לְעַצְמוֹ אֹזֶן
וְלֹא שָׁמַע.
בָּרָא פֶּה
וְלֹא דִּבֵּר.
בָּרָא עֵט וְנָעַץ בָּאֹזֶן.
הֵקִיא דְּיוֹ כָּל הַיּוֹם
וַיְהִי עֶרֶב.
בָּרָא שַׁרְווּל לְנַגֵּב
אֶת הַכָּחֹל הַזָּב.
לֹא הִצְלִיחַ.
כָּהֲתָה הַדְּיוֹ,
צָצוּ בָּהּ כּוֹכָבִים.
