The oracle

She was half deaf from years of silence.
In her sack she had a rope
With which a man was hung,
A wolf's tooth and an amulet blessed by a rabbi.
One day she told me:
Magic is simple: a look, a touch are enough.
The most difficult thing is to see death.
It's too deep in our life.

 

Background: a miracle maker who came from the village to live in the neighborhood. The brother speaks.
