FROM THE FRISIAN

FROM THE FRISIAN 

                    DOWEN Albertina Soepboer 

Here it is, heading west, there's no mistaking it

the rigors of the pen writing samscaras.

It requires wading in, holding the pen flat, like a spade

the only way to carve out a track to lead out back.

The frission it creates when you think you're done

but the pen enters the house of memory at will

Reminding you it harkens a memory of two women

in an abandoned house, furrowing their brows at dusk.
