Margaret Heifetz Tussman, 1965. Love the Ruins

1965. Shotn fun gedenken lider [Shadows of remembering: poems] (ha'Menorah
Publishing House), 1-90 [Yiddish]

1992. With teeth in the earth: selected poems of Malka Heifetz Tussman
[trans./ed. Marcia Falk] (Wayne State University Press), 1-179 (89-90)

With one letter of your many names
you broke in --
and now you live
your own hot life in me.

With one sound of your many names
you pierced yourself in me --
and now you feed
on my heart's blood.

Soon
you will shatter me
from within.

Then gather up the splinters,
and love the ruins,
my God.
