Poem
Poem by Anne-Marie Derése, translated by Judith Skillman. I don't know who you're hiding behind your mask, your face stolen from a bird, imprisoned by red ashes. I will love you the way one dies. I will keep you for years to come, you will be so tame, so unbelievable, my strange animal, with your lips opening on a lost smile. I'll drink your breath and I'll know who you are hiding.
