Dedicated to the Fisherman by Pirosmani
The Fisherman by Pirosmani

The Fisherman by Pirosmani
The fisherman by Pirosmani
Is pure attention – mindfulness.
As now he seems to be listening to scales
Amplified, but not distorted –
Listening to an old weatherbeaten South Italian man
Who’s improvising near the tracks
On his guitar.
The fisherman by Pirosmani
Is pure inner attention, mindfulness
Embedded in eternal silences, eternal sounding
Of imaginary sea shores (did he thank the fish to give his life to him?),
Embedded in darkness in his frame, embedded in the bright light of day.
Embedded in traffic, self-organizing traffic,
Embedded in devilish chaos, of Station Square.
A man is handing out brochures of pious content.
And scales are tripping, amplified but
Not distorted.
A man near the fisherman by Pirosmani is holding a brezel, taking a bite and
Listening
With the fisherman by Pirosmani, his peer.
