AGNI Online: and today Proust paints distance by Mary Buchinger

And I felt the splashing looking and reading Mary Buchinger´s poem:

and today Proust paints distance by Mary Buchinger

glass jars—
                  the village children

    lower them
                      into the Vivonne for minnows


crystal containers   of    flowing crystal
        insoluble glass     impalpable water 

         the fish flashing,
         caught and carried for bait


     come, time, come
bite,

                                      that child-once-was
                                          that splash in a jar
