9. Unnamed

​

Do you remember when everything stopped, the junction stood desolate,

A traffic light in an orphaned city, like the one on the other side of the crosswalk.

Do you remember, electronic signs kept radiating

"Every corona has a corona origin," 

"It will be good" - sponsored by Dizengoff Center.

"We will stay in the house, we will go through it together" - under the auspices of the municipality.

And if the heavens were darkened and we were left in the house, what do you say?

Or maybe we passed a man at a traffic light and if we crossed a separation line.

And if the sign of a publican falls in the middle of the world, and no one knows. 

And if we have listened to the instructions, what do you say, we have washed our hands,   

We locked our door, in the living room we woke up alone in anxiety, if loneliness we chose, 

Loneliness is a non-contagious disease, it is a sign 

Falling at the crossroads of desolation, in solitude

It is a lonely disease.
