RACHEL KORN / GRIEF POEMS / AND NOW I CAN RESPOND

And now I can respond
Translated by Edward Ginsburg

I can answer now,
All they’d ask of me,
So adult am I, that I do fear,
Memories of the cycles of the sun and moon,
Now so far gone from all my childhood days.

And should I fell the urge to weep,
I’ve learned how one should smile,
And yet I’ve still not found the path
To meet this sorrow,
That’s still without a name.
