Takknemlighet er hjertets hukommelse... --- Gratitude is the memory of the heart ... --- La gratitude est la mémoire du coeur ... --- Dankbarkeit ist die Erinnerung an das Herz ... --- La gratitud es la memoria del corazón ...

Listen to the stories
men tell of last year
that sound of other places
though they happened...

History is a needle
for putting some away
anointed with the poison
of yesterday's leaders
of all they don't not want
to keep...

And knowing is enough
for rich and poor
for mountains such as these
where nothing long remains
houses walls or trees...
