my past came to visit today
we sat together in the garden
both thicker, older, mildereach carries memory of the other
each carries memory for the otherwe stretched out our legs
rested our shoulders back
watched the koi drift in the pond& pulled in our nets of memory
each, for the other

Gentleness, yes. I hadn’t been conscious of that.

Ady’s poems you know? Famous Hungarian symbolist poet. Personally, I prefer Radnóti poems. Some can be downloaded free of charge (www.konyv-konyvek.hu) is one of the bookstore. Look for the “Ingyenesen letölthető könyvek” from the menu.
