"It's getting dark girl" he snarled at dusk
as if the closing darkness was my doing.
"God Above" if that scolding cur could only
fathom his words! But father, a boorish brute,
was always harsh and heedless.
Here inside me, in my mind and very soul it has been night
for as long as I remember. Translated by Art Hughes
