Ekaterina Yossifova

fills the ears with windborne deafness
dries up the eyes, pulls at
the clothes the hair flaps

I have no other flag.
...

A memory of passenger trains
A long journey
She is only five, six, seven years old
...

One who is a child and
goes alone to the shore, looking at the water

One who is walking with a backpack and
...

in the morning,
in the bed,
for about ten minutes
...

I watched
I was seven
I had no need to be paid attention to
With a mouth half-open
...

Nothing more playful than
the young white goat,
nothing more milky, nothing more spring-like
than the kid
...

water on the asphalt
a shining puddle beneath an arid sky
always a hundred yards ahead
...

by tasteless fruit scentless flowers
arranged - one and the same - colored

the eyes are fooled but no
...
