Swedish Microverse

by Helga Härle

September sun
on the doorstep
my runaway cat


Septembersol
i dörröppningen
min bortsprungna katt


Candlelight —
the room shrinks and grows
with every breath


lågan av ett ljus
rummet krymper och växer
med varje andetag

 


(“Candlelight” published earlier in The Heron’s Nest)
