On a Long Bench Poem by Eeva Park

On a Long Bench



The old beautiful women said come over
and sit here with us on the long bench
we'll make room for you in the middle
because when we go
through the dark from here
you'll have to stay
put your hands on your knees
and say
I am a beautiful old woman
on a long bench
at the edge of this world
