a poem by celia dropkin, in a setting adapted from the Klezmatics.
lyrics
ikh hob dikh nokh nit gezen
a shlofndikn,
es vilt zikh mir zen,
vi du shlofst,
ven du farlist dayn makht
iber zikh, iber mir.
es vilt zikh mir zen dikh
a hliflozn, a shvakhn, a shtumen,
es vilt zikh mir zen dikh mit oygn
farmakhte, on otem,
es vilt zikh mir zen dikh
a toytn.
---
i still haven't seen you
sleeping,
i want to see
how you sleep,
when you lose your power
over yourself, over me.
i want to see you
helpless, weak, mute,
i want to see you eyes
closed, breathless,
i want to see you
dead.
