STALKER

Jeffrey Park

She came

from outside

out of the twist

the warp and weave

blind

dead silent

feeling her way

sniffing the air

sensing a place where hunters

hunt

and prey

tell themselves

there’s nothing

there.

Jeffrey Park lives in Ebergötzen, Germany, home of the European Bread Museum (really). He teaches English for aspiring scientists at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and occasional writes poetry.
