Fire’s Reflection by Rainer Maria Rilke
Perhaps it’s no more than the fire’s reflection
on some piece of gleaming furniture
that the child remembers so much later
like a revelation.

that the child remembers so much later
like a revelation.
And if in his later life, one day
wounds him like so many others,
it’s because he mistook some risk
or other for a promise.

it’s because he mistook some risk
or other for a promise.
Let’s not forget the music, either,
that soon had hauled him
toward absence complicated
by an overflowing heart….
