FRAGMENTS
(for Edmund de Waal)

Dazzling fragments
in your parents time
seventy five years ago
since the Nazis
took over Vienna
your life stored
in memory
and archives inspection
you became
a porcelain maker
from a Japanese connection
soon your objects
will be on exhibition
in America
as you are searching
for your identity
remembering the looting
of your family's wealth
by exuberant fascist rants
of stealth and lies
as he writes
'' The Hare with Amber Eyes''
with all his tension
in his artistic invention
juxtaposed with Picasso,
Fontana and Miro
you also love
the German poet Paul Celan
as you go on in secret
watching the pendulum
of this age's passing clocks
without any regrets in part
by your interposing
anything even slightly unorthodox
in a runny metamorphosis
of liquid silence
forming reality and humanity
in a spotlight paradox
from the momentum of art.
