She was an evil stepmother. <br />In her old age she is slowly dying <br />in an empty hovel. <br /> <br />She shudders <br />like a clutch of burnt paper. <br />She does not remember that she was evil. <br />But she knows <br />that she feels cold. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated from the Polish by Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan <br /> <br />Anonymous Submission<br /><br />Anna Swir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-does-not-remember/
