Analysis of Slipped from Dust
from an attic’s darkness
I catch small patches of light
and retrieve
the sowing-seed I had left behind
heedlessly I had hidden it
out of sight and henceforth lost
on thick layers of sluggish dust
now steadily revives
a more colorful life
with rediscovered traces
once again it fascinates
