‘My house luminous; my day burnt to ash.’
‘Let’s find a room / with a window onto elms...’
‘Come, shade me / from the rain...’
‘They matter / the minor questions.’
‘Where did you come from / how did you arrive?’
‘I am proudest of this: we have earned each other’s names.’
‘And slowly I transform...’
‘My time in the jungle is over, Mother / Now the jungle lives in me.’
