Angel laid out a new body for me Poem by Els Moors

Angel laid out a new body for me



angel laid out a new body for me

fired by a bullet scorching through my temple

borne by snow



a hat of lead and sunlight braided into paper

a long skinny boy

and I take his hand



staggered I will burst forth

flap flap



as the sea takes to the sky

and transforms

to briny clouds

waves storming



tomorrow

Translatied by Joshua Clover and Sarah Posman
