I don't trust....

"I DON’T TRUST THE TRUTH OF MEMORIES
BECAUSE WHAT LEAVES US
DEPARTS FOREVER
THERE’S ONLY ONE CURRENT OF THIS SACRED RIVER
BUT I STILL WANT TO REMAIN FAITHFUL
TO MY FIRST ASTONISHMENTS
TO RECOGNIZE AS WISDOM THE CHILD’S WONDER
AND TO CARRY IN MYSELF UNTIL THE END A PATH
IN THE WOODS OF MY CHILDHOOD
DAPPLED WITH PATCHES OF SUNLIGHT
TO SEARCH FOR IT EVERYWHERE
IN MUSEUMS IN THE SHADE OF CHURCHES
THIS PATH ON WHICH I RAN UNAWARE
A SIX-YEAR OLD
TOWARD MY PRIMARY MYSTERIOUS ALONENESS"

~   Anna Kamieńska, from “A Path in the Woods,“Astonishments: Selected Poems of Anna Kamieńska, eds & trans. Grazyna Drabik and David Curzon (Paraclete Press, 2007)

Blending Nights....

MICHAELLOTTNER:

the only evidence left

of the fading day

rested below wild clouds

and i think my eyes

gave my secret away

as the sun silently sunk below

you sunk yourself into parts of me

i thought no one would ever go

and when the light crept back above

you were the only part of me

that i seemed to still know.

kowtow

absence....

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER…OR FORGETFUL.

some people...
