sam menashe poems





Downpour

Windowed I observe
The waning snow
As rain unearths
That raw clay
Adam's afterbirth
No one escapes
I lie down, immerse
Myself in sleep
The windows weep




Self Employed

Piling up the years
I awake in one place
And find the same face
Or counting the time
Since my parents died-
Certain less is left
Than was spent
I am employed
Every morning
Whose ore I coin
Without knowing
How to join
Lid to coffer
Pillar to groin
Each day hinges
On the same offer
