REFLECTION
After Aase Berg’s “Mass” translated by Johannes Görannson

Now I stare into the mirror
Now the mirror cuts through me

Now I stare into trees
the sharp black of branches
The sharp black of branches
erupts out of me

Now I stare into the sky
the purpled roiling clouds
Now the clouds part the reflection

Now a formation of geese
arrows through me

Now I stare into the night
Now there is staring in the night

Now the formation murmurates
Now I stare through the trees
Now the rain runs out of me

Now I crash into the rain
Now I scream into the wind

Now the picture blurs
Now I scream into the picture of myself
