Additional quotes by Yona Wallach

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.

My body was wiser than I
its ability to suffer was less than mine
it said enough
when I said more

and that's not what'
ll satisfy
my hunger no
that's not
what
'll ease
my mind
no
that's not it.
