The Eighth Day

Poet & Photographer: Anna Perrson

The Eighth Day

Their necks like giraffes through the fog 

Searching for lights in lieu of branches 

The horn resounds 

As the harbor runs

Extending hands to the skies

As the world turned greyscale

If only for an hour 

And there was naught but stillness 

Amidst the noise 

All of it 

I almost forget

Almost forgot 

These are strange times 

And as such 

A certain mysticism to be had

A certain magic 

The city held

For us.

– Anna Perrson
