On a roof in the Old City
Laundry hanging in the late afternoon sunlight:
The white sheet of a woman who is my enemy,
The towel of a man who is my enemy,
To wipe off the sweat of his brow.
In the sky of the Old City
A kite.
At the other end of the string,
A child
I can't see
Because of the wall.
We have put up many flags,
They have put up many flags.
To make us think that they're happy.
To make them think that we're happy.
– Yehuda Amichai

گیسهای بریده. صورت سیلیخورده. معشوقِ بیعاشق. داستان یک عروس؛ یک شهر.
ما همه در پی آن یگانهایم ولی!

من آن كودك واماندهی بر اسكله شايد باشم، عازم دريای بلند، رعيتبچهای روانهی كوچهباغ كه پيشانی به آسمان میسايد.

وارگاس در «کبوتر سیاه» اینطور میگه (بعد از ترجمه طبعن):
I'm tired of weeping and yet there's no sign of the sun
I no longer know whether to curse you or pray for you
I'm afraid to look for you and afraid to find you
Where my friends have told me that you've gone
At times I feel like relinquishing the fight
And ripping out the claws that cause my pain
But my eyes are dying without looking into yours
And my affection returns to wait for you at dawn
And you decided on your own to find a party girl
Black dove, black dove where are you?
Stop playing with my honor, party girl
Your caresses must be mine, and no one else's
And though I love you madly, don't come back to me
Black dove, you're the bars on this cage of suffering
I want to be free and live my life with whom I choose
Lord, give me strength for I'm dying
to go find her
And you decided on your own to find a party
