Recklessness

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

She found the right address, a place that echoed with my loneliness, and I think I am solely to blame for not stopping her. So, I would declare her my sister, safeguarding her with a wooden sword and courageously combating windmills in her honor.

Placing the photo album on a dune is a crucial step in the maturation process of the sensitive man, in this new age of righteousness, permitting each image to be gradually blended within the shining sand. This is Sahara who speaks.

I will build her a castle where I will protect her from evil.

reckless me.

from her garden of eve

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

An unmistakable, chilly gust passed the fence from beneath the layer of leaves, using her accent “Since then”: Paragraph no. 1.

It was as if that cat had been patiently observing her all along. In Vietnamese, we called her “Water”, repeating the name “Water”, captivated by it: Paragraph no. 2.

altering one’s life

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

All my life I lived in one country until I realized how essential it is to contact people from other cultures once I landed in a country that was so unfamiliar to me. I exhibit this because if you are experiencing a constant competitive life I want you to join me on a short guidance trip ——, a journey that can take you aside from lifelong confines that may taking a place in yours as a result of the circumstances.

Ready?

this thin angel of twilight

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

I went on a date with my Vietnamese friend on our (70 ish) Independence day. Unshaved, she understood only a few words in English, and her “R” is so much more subtle for me to understand…

Nevertheless, it was so wonderful to meet her on the main southern city junction, yet, a small city with some heritage of bravery wrote on the nation’s page-of-history.

Presented her to my father, he was smiling at me, this thin angel walking next to me!

On that night, a couple, in their mid 40s, who are more familiar with more fashioned parts of Israel reached to us, and asked her about her origin. I have advised her not to answer such a question.

She told me that it is okay, and they began to speak.

I have looked towards them and understood two things: I was mistaken: this couple feels deeply lonely here, in their own homeland. … many actually are, the strong Israel, the startup nation.

the notable lament

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

There are those who do not love themselves and do not love others.
There are those who love themselves and love others out of separateness.
There are those who love all they see and feel, but he, and she, is forced to love out of separateness.

A draught broke through the door, a wide-open door now. The first and second burst into tears: originally with the first lament, and continue with the second lament, and then to the third, the fourth, the fifth, to the sixth, for the last that remains … in a way that no one hears and will not hear.

This is the notable lament of all.

Ancient Way, The Valley

  1. The fence was not found, neither a road, these are just radiant hills, deposits of simple stones that do not need to be stuffed, move the wheels of salvation, how the feet feel, I stand before

  2. Beyond the playground there is a spatial peril in the form of a steep dip, and a road on which wheels stir. This is not the noise of the engine and not the friction of the metal in the air and the rubber on the asphalt, it is the noise of the danger before

  3. The working class, the faithful and deposits of simple stones.

(Complicity?)

An IDF Spokesperson’s translation, through text, led certain of those who follow the social media, to believe that ground forces had entered Gaza (1).
(@May 14, 2021)

Media networks that allocated the resources to review Gaza’s drama actually led (2+3), in words, to the death of Hamas members. Some of the reporters or the media networks who loaded the words, now with meaning, accusing the IDF of deliberate deception.

ACT OF WAR (?)

Amir Pri-galLeave a comment

Hồng: I read from the news we have a war between Palestine and Israel
Amir: I hope not. 
Amir: We prefer to call it escalation. 

Eskimo’s settings is obviously the snow: snow, snowflakes, ice, glacier, melting water, cold, summer cold, storm. so, it is only naturally hundreds of words (or lexemes) would be arising to express the creativity of the surrounding settings: 

  1. “Kanevvluk” for fine-snow, 
  2. “Qengaruk” for snow-bank, 
  3. “Muruaneq” for soft-deep-snow, etc. 

It made me wonder if war is the this region’s settings, and if with new communication opportunities it made us create so many words for war?

noise.

woman pointing a finger in Vietnam

noise.
Noise of cars.
Noise of borders.
Noise of humidity.
A fence, a field, a road, a dove prepares to land on the transparent in white building like a mountain, beyond the cloudy hot spell, 300 meters in front of me, all I hear is noise, and it is a worn point, and an animal who lives, an animal that’s all living for one goal, for one purpose, to bring life, she is in noise, or that’s who went beyond.
   I miss Vietnam, to the people in Vietnam.
Moral obligation is carved on that frame.
And a door prepares to slam on it.
I’ve always looked at you, my love.

where the nuclear reactions take place and the heat is generated

How can you call a woman — whore,
and perform a Kiddush afterwards, keeping the divine note,
to defy the heavens’ existence to your boys’ eyes?
“I was given only one shot to allow you the basic needs,”
Once the father told.
20-minutes drive, exclusive nightclubs can be found.
Some of his future professors, and executives, also can be found.
Membership policies.
The boy got rid of the book of books out of the window and screamed.
