Trafika Europe 2 - Polish Nocturne

X. Poetry

While my heart worships its muse once again a mud-island rises from a deeply troubled lake…

Past, present, or future? It’s all one in the end; I live in my own time, denying everything.

What is poetry without being? Material! And being without poetry – material unformed.

Like one touched by the seven fingers of hell; his faith is lost, it never does return.

I heard the silent word, with eyes enflamed, and like reality, it did strike my fancy:

that the Lord is mighty, and I think defenseless, rather only my rotten soul is endless.

And in my adult gene-helix lives the child, the Body and Soul Universe of Poetry.
