New translation in In Geveb

White roofs swayed through waves of powder,
Houses rode through hills of water —
Drew us down, down with them together.

A translation I did years ago was just recently publish in In Geveb. This poem, entitled "Baleydikt" or "Wounded," by the poet Malka Lee, is widely anthologized in Yiddish but little known in English.
