two poems by Erika Burkart

 

harvest

 

high clouds over the fields,

this is how a mountain is created,

mountains pass.

The combine harvester mows

until midnight,

in the golden grains, Do I have

heard, could someone disappear

like sucking sand.

 

Hold yourself, Geist.

Remember, soul:

the worlds outside,

inside the country.

 

Summer solstice

 

Wait at the window and look,

unite staggered mountains

in the haze to the twin volcano.

The sun stands still,

before it sinks.

 

See, what doesn't see you.

The stars are of a different nature.

Eyes glances: human looks.

Your stinging from water,

before they go out.

 

(Erika Burkart, “the late recognition of the signs” Poems, Weissbooks.w)
