MYSTIFICATION
What have you just released me from?
The voices in the garden that come creeping
Up the ladder the last asters of autumn
In eight different colors two fingers too many
I can't allow you to leave like this you are
Going as if you were just arriving with
Every shade of blue that one misreads for true
– Evelyn Schlag, from a collection first published in Austria in 1999, translated by Karen Leeder and published in Selected Poems by Carcanet in 2004
