[Section 7]
Diminution
With every generation I am diminished:
My children I share with my wife,
In my grandehildren I am a junior partner.
Of my great grand-children I have an eighth
Or less. And then there are the third
And fourth and fifth generation,
And those who have neither names nor nicknames.
I shrink. approaching zero, and the branches
On my family tree lengthen
Into my future: going back to my roots,
Sinking down to the ultimate depths,
The warm void where my dife begins.

Elisha Porat
Translated from the Hebrew by Eddie Levenston
