The old Finn hadn’t washed his cup
in fifty years. “It ain’t dirty,”

His wife and baby both died in childbirth
fifty-seven years ago. Inside his cabin
there’s a dust woman near
an unused cradle he made by hand.
seeking sublime surrender

Verba volant, scripta manent !
In happiness my words I lack, in grief they overflow.
