Sudden poetry
A rare contact with poetry, why so far in the past, while so timelessly close, this touch?
Richard Sieburth, NYRB June 2022 :
Early Alzheimer’s
A shelf of memory calving into the sea
like an Antarctic glacier on TV
these scenes of climate change
heightening the senescence
we try to fathom day by day
as yet another point of reference
quietly crashes away
