In the brutal nights we used to dream br Dense violent dreams, br Dreamed with soul and body: br To return; to eat; to tell the story. br Until the dawn command br Sounded brief, low br 'Wstawac' br And the heart cracked in the breast. br br Now we have found our homes again, br Our bellies are full, br We're through telling the story. br It's time. Soon we'll hear again br The strange command: br 'Wstawac' br br br Translated by Ruth Feldman And Brian Swann br br br Anonymous submission.
