I Step Outside Myself

by Ingeborg Bachmann

Ingeborg Bachmann

I step outside
myself, out of my eyes,
hands, mouth, outside
of myself I
step, a bundle
of goodness and godliness
that must make good
this devilry
that has happened.

Poems of the Day
    Hervey Allen

    First and Second Sight
    I saw in a moment of second sight A spirit flash out of the sea; It stood in a garment of water and light And held out its arms to me.
