Sleepless in the cavern Poem by Hanny Michaelis

Sleepless in the cavern

Rating: 3.5


Sleepless in the cavern
of the night.

All roads to you
rolled up into a black
inextricable tangle.

Needle-sharp pain
spinning round in the groove
of a memory.

And outside the soft
unintelligible murmuring of
the spring rain.

Translation: 2009, Judith Wilkinson
