Poetry
by Jayant Kashyap
after Lethe by Yoko Kubrick
Tonight it stands in your garden
both an image of afterlife
and in time we
shall bend down at its side to drink
to our changing names
when we shall decide what
to remember,
what to forget —
to begin again this cycle of
living and living and reliving,
our cups emptied,
filled again and again —
before it all stops somewhere
or until we are too scared
to stop somewhere —
