White Swan

Poem written by my father, Zeev Kachel Lay your head here. Withering around us Is the garden, with golden reveries all. In its feverish languishing, like in life’s remorse A final flame has been ignited by the fall. Leaves are ֿ dropping out… The wind devours them For distant turns in the mist of time. Thunder roars. Abandoned, orphaned in this realm Is the path we never finished to the sublime.…

I use that anger, that heat in me, to focus on the task at hand. I go on slipping down, thanking my lucky stars for having been bandaged, which would cushion my fall.

As riveting as this exchange may be, I would rather stop hearing it, stop wondering what Vlad expects to get out of my boyfriend in exchange for my life.

So don’t argue, don’t lose time on debating with yourself. I grit my teeth, straining…

I can’t determine with certainty who he is, but tell myself to be patient. Well, what other choice do I have?

Despite a growing suspicion, I can’t determine with certainty who he is, but tell myself to be patient. Well, what other choice do I have? After all, this I know: Medical examiners can get fired if they release the wrong decedent.

A writing bubble where inspiration may arise

Let me share a few questions from a recent interview I did for The Write Stuff: What ’ s your latest project? In the last few month, I've been translating my father’s book of poetry, Can We Still Love, from Hebrew. This book, published when I was a child, expresses his life during WWII and its aftermath. It raises a powerful question: “In a world that is full of wonder on one hand, and on the…

One wrong move and I would be shot

One wrong move and I would be shot. Paralyzed by fear, I wondered who or what it was that attacked me. The thing pressed to my temple was, as far as I could tell, a Schmeisser : the first mass-produced submachine gun. I could see—in the outer periphery of my vision—a finger on the trigger, a sharp nail, and in the background, a fuzzy impression of a mustache, centered above someone’s lip, Hitler…

He decided not to think, not to think, not to think of that murder

After a sleepless night, Michael Morse decided not to think, not to think, not to think of that murder—even at the cost of finding himself unable to conceive any thoughts at all. He pressed his thumb against the biometric reader that authenticated his identity, then turned the corner into the lobby, where he narrowly escaped hitting his nose—only to knock off his glasses. It was a minute or so…
