Israeli writer and editor (1959 - )

He was not my father and not my mother so why did he open the
door of their house to me, filling the narrow space with his
body, squeezing the door handle, and I began to retreat, I must
have mistaken the floor, but the decorated plate insists that it
is their house, at least it was their house, and in a weak voice
I asked, what's happened to my parents, and he opened his big,
gray mouth wide, nothing's happened to them, Ya'ara, my name
fluttered in his mouth like a fish in a net, and I burst inside,
my arm brushing against his cold, smooth arm, crossed the empty
living room, and opened the closed door of their bedroom.
