shining with toil

ekphrastic for Balásy Gyula’s ‘Nemzedétek’

sin the museum in Dombóvár

 

shining with toil

into, from timber

tree stolid, this determination

 

with spanner or sheaf

with shovel

each equal to his her task

 

queuing for the future

queuing for the past

 

raise children with severity

lest

 

cast the bricks about

 

all the while so far from the centre

 

at gossip

with a bucket

of word must be spread

 

these shining

might otherwise be misses

 

and these too

when the time comes

will take the scissors

and cut the star out of the flag

 

they look up the moment

I’m gone
