somewhere

“Somewhere in space hangs my heart,
sparks fly from it, shaking the air,
to other reckless hearts.”
— Edith Södergran, closing lines to “On Foot I Had to Walk Through the Solar Systems,” (trans. Stina Katchadourian, Women in Praise of the Sacred: 43 Centuries of Spiritual Poetry by Women, ed. Jane Hirshfield, HarperCollins, 1994)
