بنت

Daughter is an old word
a bone
washed out of Afar or Transvaal
crept north
in a borne basket
changing constellations.

Here - her

bone I've found
on the shore of Calypso

made legs
north.

It's cold to the _____
in Lund.

Still she'll run
to safety

as far as
as often as

she
transitting

can.
