A Writer's Ruminations

"After they all leave,
I remain alone with the poems,
some poems of mine, some of others.
I prefer poems that others have written.
I remain quiet, and slowly
the knot in my throat dissolves.
I remain."

— Dahlia Ravikovitch, from “Surely You Remember” (translated by Chana Bloch and Ariel Bloch)
