Kerrin P. Sharpe
Stockholm
in the wooden tower of this forest the pines have cataracts and never recognise me
I keep my horse close a hare runs like her bones taught her
and by the silence of the lake a lifeless duck the crisp fields of her wings have all the smoothness of closed doors
like translators we bring home different stories I wish I could have written this in Swedish
