Text
I am a body of cloud
ribs towards the shoreline
the sea will rumble now over my white bones and the wet
sand will never come off them
there is a soul inside
in me and a thistle in a stone and light club rushes in
seashells there used to be a soul
and from dry rowan roots
the trail of a soul leads
through my garden to the tip of the peninsula
there that little rowan soul waited for its faithful ship
idled its lonely time away whistling
-Kristiina Ehin (translated by Ilmar Lehtpere)
