Legend of the Body

Legend of the body Well, I was gone it was on the day the mouth widened open in front of a vacant audience a hall world, devoid of ears and started shouting As it happened the hearing merits were sealed and the hall world faded out to mute and silence was hovering over the face of the earth such a white silence well bleached You know, unlike a wedding dress like Butoh dancers white linen cloths with a pinch of pure soul within white washed face and a drizzling drop of blood that escaped the ear's cave all of that, in front of a vacant audience Do you know how it feels to shout in front the hollow hall world Familiar with the colossal reverberation? If the hall world does not mute the eardrum could explode hence there is no voice, nor any that answers you stand alone in the life capsule open wide within a body translated by Nadavi Noked from: Tractate of faces, Ahshav publisher, Israel, 2015

Thanks for sharing this. May I share with you God's love, expressed in John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
