Night Song by Lisel Mueller
Among rocks, I am the loose one, among aarows, I am the heart, among daughters, I am the recluse, among sons, the one who dies young.
Among answers, I am the question, between lovers, I am the sword, among scars, I am the fresh wound, among confetti, the black flag.
Among shoes, I am the onw with the pebble, among days, the one that never comes, among the bones you find on the beach the one that sings was mine.
