They draw from each other life and brain
remain like burnt out
eyeholes long and empty
surrounded by lines markings contours
of what was once life

Additional quotes by Yona Wallach

Place a large dam
by the wellsprings of the pain
gather with it
like water
watch over it
so it doesn't disperse
for it is your life.

I weep and strive, strive and weep

The hypnotist was here
she spoke of the body tired from all the years
serving and doing things for us
and I went out from the body
and sat on the edge of the bed
looked at it
and climbed up to lick it
stroke it
take care of it.
