I don't know where it goes
The road we are walking on
Tentative footsteps lurk
Around edges of a garden
Where silence has stretched
Like an elastic waistband
Across the blades of grass
Every step I take towards you
Carries me far from myself
But does that stop me in my tracks
Do I rearchitect my route?
Smog is not just hovering above
It is inside me as well
Carving paths in the jungle.

I would like to translate this poem
Smog is inside me as well... the quest to scan the own soul adds dignity to the corpus of the poem. I appreciate the meticulous review of esteemed poet David. A wonderful poem. To my favourites.
