Three Oddest Words Poem by Wislawa Szymborska

Three Oddest Words

Rating: 3.0


When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.

When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.

When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no nonbeing can hold.

When I pronounce the word Nothing, I make something no nonbeing can hold. Future, silence, nothing and something. Very fine poem. tony
