it in the future, since a person
may sometimes really get hold of an idea,
but most of the time it flies off.
Indiscretions
Where are we? In ironies
that no one will grasp, short-lived
and unmarked, in trivial points
which reduce metaphysics to absurd
detail, in Tuesday that falls on
day two of May, in mnemonics of days.
You can give an example or take it
on faith, cat’s paw at the throat.
And one also likes certain words and those — pardon me — syntaxes that pretend that something links them together. Between these intermeanings the whole man is contained, squeezing in where he sees a little space.
Candle
Friends from long ago, loved unchangingly,
with whom you could talk, talk until exhausted —
well, they must have forgotten some mutual concern,
or potentially mutual.
And new ones? New ones keep quiet,
as if they wanted to say nothing
more than necessary.
Amnesia
I forget about the other world.
I wake up with my mouth closed,
I wash the fruit with my mouth closed,
smiling, I bring the fruit into the room.
I don’t know why I remember cod-liver oil,
whole years of misery, the cellar bolt on the floor,
the self-sufficient voice of the grandmother.
Still, this is not the other world.
And again I sit at the table with my mouth closed
and you bring me delicious bursting plums
and I repeat after someone I also forget:
there is no other world.
Station Lights
Station lights connect with those above,
the days of the week connect,
the wind with the breath —
there’s nothing that doesn’t.
The broken heating plant in Żerań
and my child, and the woman
I picked out years ago because of
her white knee-socks with blue stripes.
