COLD Poem by Sigitas Parulskis

COLD



Mother
with Mother

we went underground
into the cellar for pickles

the water in the barrel was murky
liquid covered with mold
Mother said

Ah, but the water's cold
the water's cold I repeated

and where does this cold come from
so cold my arm loses feeling

maybe from the dark
from night or from the ground

from the ground

beneath the ground it will be even colder
