Acclimatization

Anna Frajlich

1973

I forget meticulously

I forget scrupulously

my native landscape

my daily landscape

I forget the ragged

I forget the billowy

clouds in a sky

clouds over a town

I forget to the end

I forget them nonstop

—faces cloaked in the dusk

behind windows of trains.
