have pity on me because all the way                    from Tel Aviv
to Jerusalem
I am thinking about the sources of my income   in the heart      of
NON
and the day quickly             swallows me                   (with sources
of income)
on the bus sweet is                  the sleep              of the lost
I cannot
fall asleep
oh                                    me
what’s      so terrible    
without income
 
 
 
 

Translator's Note: In the Hebrew original, the text reads: “in the heart of/ NON” (beh-lev ha/ NON; with "NON" written in English in capital letters). However, "beh-lev ha/ NON" obviously also means "in Lebanon", the site of a long war.
