2023 Longlist Announcement

Adulthood

Insignificant things that just as fast as we notice them

we forget them:

the fragrance of a wet garden, the glance of a passerby,

the cracking voice of a woman behind a window.

We forget all of them; however we’ll remember them

someday and shall feel that we left, there in the middle

of the street, our good luck or a beloved dead person.

But what can I do now? At least let me admit

how old I am.
