What the Orphan Knows About Light
.
for Anna Kamienska**
'I don't believe in the other world
...But I don't believe in this one either
unless it's pierced by light.' - A. Kamienska
Hidden behind a star
the ash sings without self-pity -
stake your claim in Beauty.
Flame-near dreams
are of Far.
Jab the mausoleum
majesty of State
in the eye.
Here is your key, little one.
Now run quickly home.
