Bettina Simon, “Visit to the Home” (trans. Kristina Herber)[Text ID: “Mom says good things, I should record them,but I’m afraid then she’ll become quiet.So I listen, and forget what she’s talking about.When I visit her, sometimesI write poems, except she is the poem,I copy everything from her.Like how everything falls in placenext to each other,or splits in two, which was one.This is my mother, who I still can’t see.”] -- source link
