ISTVÁN DABI


ISTVÁN DABI

a delicate blade of grass
happily sticked out his head
from the soil
with pleasure looked at the sun on the sky
and sorrowfully gathered strength
for straightening his back proudly against the stones
but at this moment a loudly gagling goose
uprooted it unexpectedly with his sharp beak

we welcome the New Year
like a new-born child
though from experience we know
it will be neither better nor worse
than the past ones
or the next ones
only different
like every man is similar
to his ancestors
and his descendants
but differs from them a bit








xxx

I often longed for solitude
but now I’m frightened
of being left alone
in the crowd
after the departure of that Only One
therefore I’m making myself ready
to follow her immediately







xxx

he observed from the bridge
the waves
and wished to fly on them
to the oceans
but the parapet kept him
he climbed up
stood for some minute
and sprang back onto the pavement
and threw only his thoughts
to the waves.
