Poesia ao anoitecer

 


Over the years
a great deal has to be thrown out.
The notion, for instance,
that happiness is mild and enduring,
something like a southern climate
instead of a bolt of lightning
that leaves scars
cherished a lifetime.

~Hanny Michaelis

(Translation: 2009, Judith Wilkinson)
