Parveen Shakir: Frasi in inglese

“When the noisy tide receded
from the shore
the frozen shiny sands suddenly moved
beneath her feer.
The girl standing knee-deep in water
came to herself and mused:
'How familiar is this moment!'”

in the haze and mist of slimy yesterday?

the sun has also been accused
of having necked and cuddled the night.”
