THE NIGHT EON
by Radharani Pernarčič
We slept on a drifting raft
which tangled in the withering grass. The sky
was seeping into our skin. I scratched dirt from my knees.
The vacuum, full of stars and stories, with finality
drowned us, and without a splash
an albatross pierced the plane of the dream.
In our coal-charred wood, the air was breaking.
(Translated by Knute Skinner and Špela Drnovšek Zorko)
