On The Top Floor


Rajzel Zychlinsky 



אויפן לעצטן שטאָק


On the top floor 

I opened a door.

Are you there, 

Are you home 

My girlfriend?

She is here.

She’s just lying on the bed.

Her socks lie in the shoes

She reads a book.

The oil lamp shines brightly

On the stool

“I’m tired,”

I say quietly by the door 

“Here, come on over,

you should sleep with me”

She stretches out a bare hand 

And I sleep one 

With my cool cheek 

On her shoulder.

I dream-

On the top floor I left the door open! 

Are you there, 

Are you home 

My girlfriend? 

She is here. 

She just lies on the bed.

Her socks lie in the shoes

She reads a book 

The oil lamp shines brightly

On the stool

“I’m tired,”

I say quietly by the door 

“Here, come on over,

you should sleep with me”

She stretches out a bare hand 

And I sleep one 

With my cool cheek

On her shoulder
