Leonard Cohen II Dance Me to the End Of Love

[literarymiscellany]

The wind talks through the hinges And cuts my heart like a knife. As my children sleep, exhausted, The sleep flies from my eyes. The wind’s at the door, but it seems to me That someone is knocking noisily And making the house ache With the dampness of a grave.

Celia Dropkin, from “Dream on a Windy Night” (translated from the Yiddish by Kathryn Hellerstein)
