Cut off the hand


Fragment 5 from the long poem ‘Lil Loaf of Bread’
   


A few words on trauma. Self-inflicted wounds. Peergynt. Anschluice. Ankersmit. Spring will flash by and who the fuck cares.

No, nothing’s shooting out there. A sickle encounters some fruitless bough, lops off its parts, children ensue, and we walk on.



Translated by Ainsley Morse, Bela Shayevich, Timmy Straw, Cathy Ciepiela, Igor Gulin, Brian Kim, Dinara Rasuleva
