Daily Poem: The Lightning ~ Judah Al-Harizi
The Lightning
~ Judah Al-Harizi
Translated from the Hebrew by T. Carmi
And the lightning laughs at the clouds,
like a warrior who runs without growing weary or faint.
Or like a night watchman who dozes off,
then opens one eye for an instant, and shuts it.
