PATRIOTIC POEM Poem by Gerður Kristný
PATRIOTIC POEM
The cold makes me
a lair from fear
places a pillow of
downy drift
under my head
a blanket of snow
to swaddle me in
I'd lay my ear to
the cracking of the ice
in the hope of hearing it
retreat
if I didn't know
I'd be frozen fast
The ice lets no one go
My country
a spread deathbed
my initials stitched
on the icy linen
