"My Key Has Lost Its House."

It is amazing what you find when you scour the net for interesting 'stuff'. I stumbled on this poem and thought it worth a share.

From the 2004 book
"After Every War: Twentieth-Century Women Poets"

Translations from the German by Eavan Boland
Original text by Rose Ausländer entitled Mein Schlüssel

----------------

My Key

My key
has lost its house.

I go from house to house
but none fits.

I have found
the locksmith.

My key fits
into his grave.
