Читать книгу In the Pendulum // Im Pendelschlag - Helmut Lauschke - Страница 23

A child is crying from far

a cold wind rushes over the frozen field.

Where is the mother

to bring the child back to the warming stove?

An old man walks sluggishly on a stick

dressed in shabby clothes and worn-down shoes.

He wears a torn black woolly cap.

His face looks exhausted and his eyes look dull.

The cold wind blows into his face,

but the meager hands do not wear gloves.

Whereto will the old man walk?

When will the mother pick up the crying child?

In which direction did the past go

to find the future going into the opposite direction?
