THE WORLD IN A DROP OF DEW (AFTER ISSA)

Everything must perish,

perish and be forgotten,

and we must pretend

that in each living thing,

in each human creation,

in ourselves,

we don't see a mortal

thing and being,

and a mortal memory.

We must pretend,

pretend and live like

everything

we value in this life

would be carved

into eternity.
