Sport 14: Autumn 1995
Conclusion
Conclusion
The illness has come to meet you,
and you take its hand.
First you have to condense
everything you want to say
into this last night.
I think you are panicking,
although as you pack this suitcase,
you are rehearsing, preparing.
There is an urgency in your mouth.
Now time is finite,
can be measured
by a shadow on the lung.
