Herrings
A barrel of herrings
arrived in Ljubljana.
They were asked
about their political conviction.
They said
they were from Iceland.
A modern poet
warns of ruin.
The herrings were kept in the barrel all week
and began to stink.
—Srecko Kosovel
You did sweat / beyond skin. / You did swim / toward the tear.
Rebecca Guyon
