HER SHADOW SPEAKS

An English-language poem from the selected writings collection.

Light rain on the deck,
chrysanthemums dewy
in damp terracotta skirts.

The dirt smells clean.
The world smells healthy.
Wet grass.

I lean on the rail,
watch the nearest pine
spread wide
across the charcoal sky.

I feel autumn
within
and outside me.

My shadow
smiles at me.
Even if I cannot see it,
I know
it’s wry.

Because
this must be
how Peter Pan felt
when he grew up.
