Marigolds

marigolds 
San Clemente*

and the sun that is
opening
we will lose ourselves
before they find us
in the eternal searching
for ourselves
(and the mind again
steps over us)
did you recognize the happiness
Ahasver**

marigolds 
(like an epoch) 
San Clemente

and I am bowing 


*In one lateral chapel there is a shrine with the tomb of Saint Cyril of the 
Saints Cyril and Methodius who created the Glagolitic alphabet and Christianized 
the Slavs.

**Wandering Jew; the name Ahasver is adapted from Ahasuerus the Persian 
king in Esther, who was not a Jew, and whose very name among medieval Jews 
was an exemplum of a fool
