Inger Christensen (born 16 January, 1935; died 2 January, 2009), pictured above in a photograph made, I believe, in the early to middle 1970s
From Light
I always thought reality
was something you became
when you grew up.
In the square stands Fata Morgana
looking tired, shouting
Morning paper—morning paper.
(translated from the Danish by Susanna Nied; published originally in Poetry, 2009)
