Rainer Maria Rilke - Fire`s Reflection
Work rating: Low

Perhaps it`s no more than the fire`s reflection
on some piece of gleaming furniture
that the child remembers so much later
like a revelation.

And if in his later life, one day
wounds him like so many others,
it`s because he mistook some risk
or other for a promise.

Let`s not forget the music, either,
that soon had hauled him 
toward absence complicated
by an overflowing heart….
