Poem by Else Cederborg: "Balloon"


 

 

 

Stepping out
dressed like a billion
all too glittering for this world
happily enough her head is floating
you may find it on a cloud up in the sky
moving in air, far from reality, it’s gleaming

It can’t be denied it’s a lantern
a will-o’-the-wisp, that’s leading her on
feet in the world of fashion and riches, head in the sky
no wonder she is out of reach, even for herself
