And how much you ended up packing in it. Almost like the short version of a memoir (well, i have not read that many:-)) I have been coming back to it a few times now. Not only because I resonate with the explosion of the moments in it, and the experiences presented, but because there is something about the sense of drama and lightness, a view of the world that seems to carry a European sensibility for me, and it takes me back home. Hmmm… maybe that is what we mean when we say poems can haunt us. thanks again.

wow. what a treat. what a playfully sad, creative and imaginative poem. and the reading was fabulous: as if listening to the outside and the inside at the same time. has that goosebumpy feeling:-) always a good sign.
favorite lines that got me:

The few times I had to attend school
I occupied a corner with my shadow

and the two stanzas at the end.
thanks,
daniela
