On Foot I Had To Cross the Solar System


On foot

I had to cross the solar system
before I found the first thread of my red dress.
I sense myself already.
Somewhere in space hangs my heart,
shaking in the void, streaming sparks
into other intemperate hearts.




--Edith Sodergran (1892 - 1923)

  3. Nice poem—'like what she does with heart, sparks, hearts. Your collage is just stunning: the coming in from the left out of frame gives it a lovely sense of movement. Such a great background, too: I adore the typo in "strangeness."
