Poem
Janis Elsbergs
I’m walking and wondering
I’m walking and wonderingwhy I leave no footprints.
I went this way yesterday.
I’ve gone this way all my life.
I won’t look back.
I’m afraid I won’t find my shadow.
‘Are you alive?’
a drunken gentleman suddenly asks me.
‘Yes, yes,’ I answer quickly.
‘Yes, yes,’ I answer
as fast as I can.
I’m walking and wondering
