Die - you can't do that to a cat... Something doesn't star… - Wisława Szymborska

Die - you can't do that to a cat...

Something doesn't start
at its usual time.
Something doesn't happen
as it should.
Someone was always, always here,
then suddenly disappeared
and stubbornly stays disappeared.

Our times are still not safe and sane enough
for faces to show ordinary sorrow.

But in the language of poetry, where every word is weighed, nothing is usual or normal. Not a single stone and not a single cloud above it.
