MAGGIE SAWKINS

Crossfire

It hasn’t moved for months.
It knows its place – on top of the dresser
facing the door.

Arum Lily
the Afrikaans have a name for you:

Varkblom
Pig’s Ear

no wonder you poke out
your yellow tongue.

Calla Lily
one day you will be caught
in our crossfire.

Someone will wrench you
from your terracotta pot
and hurl you to the floor.

Names will fly.
Fists flail.

My Little White Hood

I will remember you
mute and beautiful –
bite my tongue.

Elena Dumitrascu

Maggie Sawkins

Foc incrucisat

Nu s-a clinitit luni de zile.
Isi stie locul- in varful dulapului, cu fata la usa.

Rodul pamantului,
africanerii au un nume pentru tine:

Varkblom
Urechea porcului

Nu-i de mirare ca scoti limba afara.

Cala alba,
intr-o zi vei fi prinsa in bataia focului.

Cineva o sa te scoata intr-o zi cu forta din vasul ta de teracota
si-o sa te arunce pe podea.

O sa zboare cuvinte grele
Pumnii vor lovi.

Scufita mea alba,
te voi tine minte, muta si frumoasa-
Doamne fereste!
