Like girls inside my head.

I spoke.

Usually I am careful.

Even in a dream it's worth bending low.

But yesterday the horsemen passed...

Today the clouds passed over the city,
kemo notzot shel malachim.
Like angels' feathers.

And we were angry no more over the dreams
shelo amarnu.
We hadn't spoken.

But inside it was cool.
keday lehikanes mitachat lasemicha,
It's worth getting under the blanket,
ulhagid shelo yadanu,
And saying that we didn't know,
eych baa letochenu hasimcha...
How joy came into us...
