Yehuda Amichai

Here you will find the Poem Pity, We Were A Good Invention of poet Yehuda Amichai

Pity, We Were A Good Invention

They amputated 
Your thighs from my waist. 
For me they are always 
Surgeons. All of them. 

They dismantled us 
One from another. For me they are engineers. 
Pity, We were a good and loving 

Invention: an airplane made of man and woman, 
Wings and all: 
We soared a bit from the earth, 
We flew a bit.
