translated by Lena Kallergi
I will stay with the tree
in the walkway.
I will hold out my hands to the teenage branches
and, wrapped
around its skin,
I will expand to the ground.
I will remain a tree
in the walkway.
My fingernails will blossom
on winter’s windowpanes.
I will remain in the walkway
a tree.
Let my loved ones
spray me with rain
so I can raise a tree
in the walkway.
