Something heavy has settled here  
In the place that remembers you.

Returned mangled, a burden sorely missed  
Is welcomed back like a difficult friend

Thought lost forever,  
Leaving this place free and hollow –

Has come back to me with sweet clutch  
And will still be here tomorrow.

SARA IDDIR enjoys playing with old-fashioned language and rhythms in poetry, sometimes mixing quiet humour and thought. She likes gentle mischief and melancholy, discovering the odd and tender in ordinary moments, and trying to give these images character.
