RACHEL KORN / THE NEXT PHASE POEMS / ALTERED REALITY

Altered Reality
Translated by Seymour Levitan

Space
and time
alter,
as if they’d known it
all along-
the alien world
that made me the dividing line
between today and yesterday

Things and people
no one needs
stand beside me now
shamed
and useless,
and wait
for my word to take them
to the border where
the other side of time begins.

8 May 1974
