The body Poem by Hanny Michaelis

The body



The body
that contents itself with
another body
since the one
became unavailable
must from time to time
turn a blind eye
to its own consciousness
as it escapes to a remote
half overgrown
corner of memory
and so betrays
the betrayal.

Translation: 2009, Judith Wilkinson
