The Lightning Speed of the Past
* * *
The corpse fosters anxiety in men who believe
in the Last Judgment, and those who don’t.
—ANDRÉ MALRAUX
He buried his wife, who’d died in
misery. In misery, he
took to his porch, where he watched
the sun set and the moon rise.
The days seemed to pass, only to return
again. Like a dream in which one thinks,
I’ve already dreamt that.
Nothing, having arrived, will stay.
With his knife he cut the skin
from an apple. The white pulp, body
of the apple, darkened
and turned brown, then black,
before his eyes. The worn-out face of death!
The lightning speed of the past.
