The White Night Falling


The White Night Falling



When it becomes another summer,
She is still hurt. It has come
Down upon her.

In one of their two tents
On the sand, she oversleeps
And wakes between a footprint

And a mountain
Only to step on a nail.
She will take a boat

To the river tomorrow.
Together, the game animals
Travel in another way

Towards a specific destination.
They are scarce. The ocean
Rises, trims their shore.
