Only light,
Jerusalem,
city
of every one
sole city
of all.
Countless roots,
hills, valleys...
Here is the blood,
here the light,
here the waiting,
the Ark.
God's human
footprints passing
by upon the earth,
here is the word,
the rock
cleft,
wounded -
the only one.
Only light,
Jerusalem -
to see ourselves better
in the mirror
of your history,
to deepen
into your mystery
into my mystery.
Paths of Capernaum,
paths of Bethesda.
Jerusalem's gates.
Here I walk
in your footsteps.
Translated by Esther Solay-Levy with Aloma Halter
