time too stands still, irredeemable;
it does not care
to know when
the almond bush blooms. . . .

My neighbour,
he greets me with his
hands; his eyes hold
fondly his dog
(she is silent).
She watches us with great care.
There is no burning bush—
just here,beside our two homes,
a comprehension
at last.
