Take a Trip

to Andrzej Urbanowicz

Take a trip — unmoving—that will draw you to the moving world,

a transitory trip that will afix you

in the morning’s dazzling white light;

go to the impenetrable darkness: the purest white light without beginning or end,

the light that alone endures;

passing the countless stations that were your one permanent address,

forgetting faces of your closest enemies and remotest friends,

forgetting your beloved woman’s names—so you’ll remember her better—

so she won’t be just an answer to questions you shouldn’t ask

— wounding,

overcoming sleep—death’s enchanting intimation,

rejecting the next escape—a small metaphor for the infinity

that lies waiting in every human matter;

take a trip—mortal—that resurrects you,

take a trip to an unknown country, whose capital may be the unknown

and every woman there may bear the blasphemously lovely name of Mary,

don’t let serene reflections of dark human matters mislead you,

be guided by a latent, nameless

star
