Inhaltsangabe

Three Years

the land, extending itself, makes
one turn after another, spitting
village after village, till it gives
its cold light to the gaping grave.

I, a blunt knife, hammered on an anvil
have been hardened--for three years
three years! Till a miracle happens--
will I be able to return from it?
