My aquarium houses as many liters Poem by Hans Faverey

My aquarium houses as many liters



My aquarium houses as many liters
of water as are lodged inside it.
Before the lodge an old man sits,
upright, elbows on the table
before him, his hands half-folded,

seeing into the valley.

In open fields there stands a tree
that is an oak, left standing
to shadow what is at hand.
Grasses; animals. Never dissolving
in himself, self-outcasting: man.
