Juris Kronbergs
Wolf One-Eye Has Changed
He felt he had changed
He wasn’t sure how
He could hardly remember
how it had all once been
Someone had slammed a door in his face
Perhaps it was the shock of the impact
that had changed his opinion of change
And, as a consequence, of all else as well:
snow did not fall down
it snowed up
in spring the birds brought trees
to the budding leaves
(nothing was as it had been)
and the cloud cried
when raindrops left
and the sky cried when the cloud left
Wolf One-Eye cried because he knew he knew nothing
Save what he had lost
Because he looked on the world with eyes of unknowing
And one of them was mute
