If You Want/ Hezi Leskali

If you want spaghetti bolognaise, you'll get all the spaghetti bolognaise in the world.

If you want all of the spaghetti bolognaise in the world, you'll get maybe an envelope with a note:

"The bolognaise delivery was lost en-route

from Marseille to Haifa;

perhaps   drowned in the sea

perhaps   abducted by reckless Uzbeks

perhaps   mistakenly exploded."

If you want love, you'll get maybe an empty envelope,

no address,

nothing.

After the weeping and the sleep you'll understand

that it is possible

to use the empty envelope,

to put something in it:

perhaps   a shard of glass

perhaps   a ring that got bent

perhaps   a lock of hair.

Something.

If you ask for an empty envelope, you'll get love,

all the love in the world.
