Time translates every stone in this hedge-bank into a ball of moss. Thinking of all the wild creatures who call this place home.

Aiace è morto
I sassi mi mancheranno
l’ottusa
resistenza della selce sul letto
dello Scamandro
gli arrosti frugali
che precedono vittorie o disfatte
questo è il tempo
delle giustificazioni,degli alibi.
In verità sono calmo e respiro
dal naso.

Swedish storyteller Elsa Beskow turns 152 this week, reason enough to give you:
