A Pity, We Were Such a Good Invention
 BY YEHUDA AMICHAI
TRANSLATED BY ASSIA GUTMANN

 They amputated
 Your thighs off my hips.
 As far as I'm concerned
They are all surgeons.
All of them.

 They dismantle us
 Each from the other.
 As far as I'm concerned
 They are all engineers.
 All of them.

 A pity.
We were such a good
And loving invention.
An aeroplane made from a man and wife.
Wings and everything.
We hovered a little above the earth.

 We even flew a little.
