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)
