Look here's that uninvited <br />Alien presence look it's here <br /> <br />A shudder on the ocean of tea in the cup <br />Rust taking hold <br />On the edges of our laughter <br />A snake coiled in the depths of the mirror <br /> <br />Will I be able to hide you <br />From your face in mine <br /> <br />Look it's the third shadow <br />On our imagined walk <br />Unexpected abyss <br />Between our words <br />Hoofs clattering <br />Below the vaults of our palates <br /> <br />Will I be able <br />On this unrest-field <br />To raise you a tent of my hands <br /> <br /> <br />Trans. by Anne Pennington <br /> <br /> <br />Anonymous submission.<br /><br />Vasko Popa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/far-within-us-2/
