Morning, Sun, Frost, Fractals
The blinding light stands massive
around the walls
The morning sun dazzles through the windows;
the potted plants become sharp fractals
of unknown nature,
until I step into them,
dress my face in them,
and they place their leaves against my cheeks,
like an aged mother, her wrinkled hands
over a lost son’s eyelids
The potted plants show mercy;
I let them
I see entire mountain ranges of tasks
through the shimmer of frost
(One of the cats is sleeping, curled up in an armchair;
the other, wide awake, on the windowsill,
watches, with his whole body,
the flutter of feathers around the bird feeder
outside the kitchen window)
I want to learn Chinese,
I want to print out the diaries,
digitize in writing
what has already been digitized in voice;
an impossibility (?) this late in life;
a timely death will turn untimely
