After he is gone

After he is gone
This little cuckoo has never
Left her clock again

Wydawca, Craig Kittner, opatrzył mój wiersz następującym komentarzem: "The world progresses at a furious pace, leaving the antiquated to languish by the wayside. But some of us refuse to abandon these victims of modernity. We embrace them and keep them vital. Why? Perhaps we understand all to well what it means to be made obsolete. Such sympathy powers Anna Victoria Goluba’s poem. Whether the cuckoo is literal or metaphoric is hardly relevant. Something bright and energetic was hidden away after this man departed."
