ELEVEN POEMS BY LETA SEMADENI TRANSLATED BY TESS LEWIS

THE SHEPHERD’S ODE TO HIS GOAT

Sometimes she roams silently through my house and greets me on her way out with her pupils

Sometimes she lies in the clouds and bleats

and extinguishes me like a bolt of lightning

She can shatter my heart

Sometimes she wants all my time Wants to eat my roses
