DPF / Greger

Brothers and sisters. And, snow.

from Wind Wrapped in Snow / by Debora Greger

    Snowflake, you’re out
with no coat. Listen. Stand still.
    No one is calling
across a world half-buried in snow,
     Come back, you hear me,
Come back this instant, you forgot

DPF / Drummond de Andrade

from Family Portrait / by Carlos Drummond de Andrade trans. by Elizabeth Bishop

I don’t distinguish those
that went away from those
that stay. I only perceive
the strange idea of family

travelling through the flesh.
