Forest and Dove, by Anca Rotar

Forest and Dove, by Max Ernst (Germany), 1927.

Forest and Dove

You remind me of something
Max Ernst would come up with –
must be the way you hide
among the razor-like trees
inside your head.
And if I were to step on that path,
like some child in an old fairy-tale,
I would not be afraid.
Even under a blue sky,
this forest is as dark
as the belly of a mechanical beast.
But I would not turn back.
And I would not stray.
You’ve kept her alive in here somewhere.
I know I can find her.
I’ve heard her sing.

Anca Rotar is a Romanian-born writer of poetry and fiction. She was driven to writing by her love of stories and verse, as well as by an ever-increasing fascination with mysteries and the unknown. Her biggest complaint is that there are too many interesting things in the world and hardly enough time to discover them all.
