passing time

Wisława Szymborska "Nothing twice"

Twice nothing happens and nothing ever will Therefore we were born unfeathered and such shall die still

Should we be like dumb students dumbest in their class Not a day must we correct no one will ever fail us

No night will be the same No day can happen twice No kiss is like previous No look in the eyes

Yesterday, when somebody said out loud, next to me, your name I felt inside as if a rose through open window came

Today, as we are here together I turned my face towards the wall Rose? What does it look like? A flower more, or a stone?

Why do you, the dark hour, mix with unneeded scare? You are – so you will be gone smile comes after nightmare

Smiling, embracing, for accord we search Yet unlike water drops we can never merge.
