After heavy snow.
After the last breath.
Before lightning strikes.
Before the first breath.
In a spider’s web.
In a musical rest.
Of a sleeping dog.
Of a stone general’s breast.
With an old friend.
With a favorite brother.
From the mouth of God.
From a cold mother.
On closing a book.
On fearing what’s to come.
Under a witch’s spell.
Under a dictator’s thumb.
By a frozen river.
By a stone that’s leaning.
At the end of a war.
At another war’s beginning.
-- Elisabeth Murawski
