Poetry book of the month
The poetry of Yehuda Amichai, Yehuda Amichai
"You visit me inside the apple. Together we can hear the knife paring
around and around us, carefully so the peel won't tear. I touch your lips

the way a burnt field is black. It's all true. You visit me inside the
apple and you'll stay with me inside the apple until the knife finishes
its work."
