THE WAY OF PEACE
Tel Aviv before midnight the
wind does not want to blow
And the humidity doesn't
let go, suffocating me
In a cafe between the neighborhoods,
the lights are yet to be turned off.
She is sitting alone on an old chair
I'm not sure what to say, and if
I should approach at all, retreat
As a breeze comes from the sea,
she casts a small look at me,
inviting me to sit.
She orders "au lait" for both of us
and just complains about the heat.
"How hot it is, may we go?" she asks.
She is living in a rented apartment
really close to the path of peace.
Asking for a bill, tonight we're
not going to sleep.
In Tel Aviv after midnight,
ascending a stairwell
She takes out keys that open a door.
A small table and two armchairs
She asks what would you want to
drink, I really feel like a
character from a movie
Two glasses on the table and she
pours and pours, finishing me
Opening another white wine, throws
me a little smile slowly coming
into my heart.
She orders "au lait" for both of us
and just complains about the heat.
"How hot it is, may we go?" she asks.
She is living in a rented apartment
really close to the path of peace.
Asking for a bill.
Aside from everything that happens
between us, an air conditioner
turns on because of the heat
"How hot it is, may we go to the
room?" she asks. "If you want you
can stay here and sleep."
What sleep? Tonight we're not
going to consider...
