Brief Biography

Anxiety In My Bones Today
(The Poet in the Streets of Mourning)

by Uri Zvi Greenberg


loading . . . .

Anxiety in my bones today. 
I come to you with the feeling of one again
Banished slowly and stealthily from sacred landscapes;
Unredeemed landscapes of the enfeebled
Although still in the hands of the Fire Riders,
sons of Joshua Ben Nun today;
And like the fickle, who do not know why they are that way,
So I, who differ from them in my view of the future
Cannot grasp without reason
Why and wherefore this verdict of "lost tomorrow" can be possible
With Jewish signature upon the paper:
Back to the bottleneck.

 
Maariv. September 26, 1973. Two days before the start of the Yom Kippur War.
