Memory II

(Time Revisited)

Antoni Jach

The arrow of time pierces right through to the heart.

The sky colludes with all humanity in its watchful quietude.

The horizon flows around its hillside under a house of sky.

Everyday objects hold their place. Atoms and the void.

Life is motionless, still and calm.

The spider lies down with the lamb.

The wheel of time revolves through sheets of implacable sky.

A maternal world. The sun struggling to emerge. Simple objects cling desperately to the firmament. The wind blows the deterministic future away.
