Dripping sweet tar, while in the pan
Plum magma's bubbles blather.
For someone who can't grasp the whole
There's salvation in the remembered detail.
What, back then, did I know about that?
The real, hard as a diamond,
Was to happen in the indefinable
Future, and everything seemed
Only a sign of what was to come. How naïve.
Now I know inattention is an unforgivable sin
And each particle of time has an ultimate dimension. Janisz Szuber, 1947 - 2020, Polish Poet, About a Boy Stirring Jam | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
