They fell onto one another
gentle with their daughters

Father of mine
with his hair so long

So, I cried
touched a ceiling not too far from the tide

You are here alone
Sadly, by ones own lies
You sit on the deck
River with ghost.

I don't understand fully and DO understand fully, this exquisite, sensitive, enigmatic and superb poem, Tomer.

So sad. The close was a hit in the guts.
Enjoyed the read.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
