Nina Cassian

It's like the process of aging.
Just a process.
Your hair starts to grow wilder,
your skin gets smoother,
your appetites increase.
Suddenly, you sing in the shower and in the rain,
you discover a plant you've never seen before
and you munch it.

















 

What's that tiny star on your left temple?
Maybe a bird scratched it with tender claws
to prod you into flying...

- Nina Cassian
