MEANING
The years of my early adulthood, my sensual life—
how clearly I see their meaning now.
What useless repentances, what futile…
But then I could not see what they meant.
In the dissolute life of my early adulthood
designs of my poetry took form,
the scope of my art got outlined.
For that reason the repetances were never strong.
And my decisions to restrain myself, to change
most of the time lasted only two weeks.
