Tineke Bracke: 'onuitgepakt'

 

unpacked

 

you arrived

in a body

that didn’t quite fit

 

with skin

that was still hardly creased

as if no one had ever

really worn it

 

you walked

as if the seams

had not been

stitched for you

 

and every movement

sounded like paper

that as yet doesn’t

dare to tear


To see the original poem, go to here.
