The Stranger by Ulrikka Gernes
who is alone, but not lonely
who is complete, but not whole
who carries weight
who finds way
who walks through darkness without fear
who walks still faceless through the dark
who knows who you are, without knowing your name
who stretches out a hand and the hand is open
who lifts a lamp
to see himself in you
~ from A Sudden Sky (Brick Books, 2006) translated from Danish
and edited by Patrick Friesen and Per Brask
