Ultima Thule Poem by Leo Yankevich

Ultima Thule

Rating: 4.5


for Cornel Adam Lengyel (1915-2003)


It is a day like any other day.
Bullfinches bathe in dust along the path.
Two hedgehogs mate. A crow attempts to sing.
The cherries bloom until you see an orchard
and in a puddle snowdrops touch the sky.
Then, when you least expect, you reach your goal.
Your heart stops, and you fall towards your shadow.
