A Song Rolled Up As a Cat

FIRST DRAFT, a pantoum albeit without ABAB, on that ship stuck in the canal and the poetaster as a specialized suction dredger

A specialized suction dredger arrived to dig the fat-assed ship out

Forgive me, not only did the foreshadowed crash not bottom out, the wheel trending upward, happy ramifications of not obsessing daily reminders of eternal truths about that fucking animal Human addressed in bleggalgaze below, may the blessing of what the fuck grace you too

DON'T ALLOW THE LUCID MOMENT TO DISSOLVE

Adam Zagajewski
                                             Translated by Renata Gorczynski

Don't allow the lucid moment to dissolve
Let the radiant thought last in stillness
though the page is almost filled and the flame flickers
We haven't risen yet to the level of ourselves
Knowledge grows slowly like a wisdom tooth
The stature of a man is still notched
high up on a white door
From far off, the joyful voice of a trumpet
and of a song rolled up like a cat
What passes doesn't fall into a void
A stoker is still feeding coal into the fire
Don't allow the lucid moment to dissolve
On a hard dry substance
you have to engrave the truth

  1. A colleague yesterday morn referred to the "Schlepper" that partially loosed your inspired pantoum's fat-assed ship. I commented that we could all use a schlepper.

    1. Im der Alten Tage ich ein Schlepper war. Suspect all of us have been at one time or another.

  2. Hi, I've been digitally unavailable due to some health stuff. It's actually somewhat refreshing. Reading Klara now. Also The Peregrine, non-fiction. And Open City, by Teju Cole. Most reading in ages—like you, apparently. Thanks for the linkage!

    2. Thanks, man! Gradually creeping out of it.
