We Did It... Yehuda Amichai... |
We did it in front of the mirror And in the light. We did it in darkness, In water, and in the high grass. |
We did it in honor of man And in honor of beast and in honor of God. But they didn't want to know about us, They'd already seen our sort. |
We did it with imagination and colors, With confusion of reddish hair and brown And with difficult gladdening Exercises. We did it Like wheels and holy creatures And with chariot-feats of prophets. We did it six wings And six legs But the heavens Were hard above us Like the earth of the summer beneath. |
