fennir í flestra spor
fennir í flestra spor
sagnir máðar
af spjöldum minninganna
þessar línur aðeins tilraun
til að bjarga fáeinum
merkiskonum
úr fönninni
Notes:
“fennir í flestra spor” was originally published in Hetjusögur (Benedikt, 2020). Read the English-language translation, “snow in most tracks,” and the translator’s note, both by K.B. Thors.
