Stefan Wolner

An award is usually read as a result.
This one felt more like a response.

Not to an achievement,
but to a way of looking,
of listening,
of staying with something that is uncomfortable.die
Some recognitions don’t elevate.
They confirm direction.

There were lights.
And a sign outside the frame.
I was nominated. Twice.
But mostly, I was watching the shadows.
