non-basic-instincts - Elitsa Ganeva

learning new words
new instincts coming up to surface
some of them too fast
some of them are so late.
Still.
A face as dirty as coal ash is yelling at me:
'Grab your tools! Work, dig deeper!'
Tools for reactions
tools for reflections
'diligence, work, work, go deeper.'

diligence

Bring the man back to his diligence
don't depersonalize
I thought I'm erasing one face
It was only to start with the next following lines
this picture of us
that picture of them
we won't understand
nor in the the present
nor in the future tense
but
bring the man back to his diligence
