Yaffa Zins
Epstein-Nidriosbach August 1996
There was a relief in the calm of the trees
Winds came and late pods emerged
fingers wandered
There is great peace in the sunrise
Hanging emeralds stand
with soft touch slowing in reflected depths
low low sinking in violet
the horizon of expectations errs into depth
throbbing opposite
grasping things by condensing
surprising illusions of identity
all the insides on the brink of shells
All
Her hushed voice among the sparks
that secret interweaving
