What else searches the word for…

What else
searches the word for
in the sediment of the verse
if not for the impalpable
– which exists?

just as the water of the river
escapes the hand
but learns its limits in the jar
conserves its form
and refreshes

as sometimes does
a poem

Germain Droogenbroodt

One of the poems published in the anthology “Tu sai che era amore”

From: “In the Stream of Time, Meditations, in the Himalayas”
