Eli Spivakovsky Poems

Ice ribbons around icebergs: a calendar to date it with
and star-tipped
and snow-capped
and split clouds of cumulonimbus
...

Jerusalem
there are crystals coming out of the sky
the same shape as honeycomb
there's an electro-trance band playing
...

Your Pacific urges,
crack through old technology
marine-drenched cables
and the international telephonic corridors
...

Dudaim, they're Biblical:

‘Violets' or ‘Mandrakes'.
...

What are cherry blossoms?
Snow mixed with pink icing sugar.
It approaches a Maiko's hair
and she is neither full human nor full flower.
...

Diamonds, silver, gold and crystal rocks - these are the underground jewels.
The inverse of the aqua jewels - pearl, abalone, coral and shell.
The reverse of upper celestial jewels - meteorites, asteroids, star and moon. Sapphire for His throne
...

Shifting Boats Crumble
Ocean beds
Part of my mind goes blank like the new day.
...

Child prodigy, performed for royalty

at the beginning of the century
...

Have you seen the sparkle
of the pavement light shining
on the dark black cherry blossom branches
as it rains at night time?
...
