A fourteen-line poem on Adoration
by Julie Carr
1. It does not take much
2. Half an hour here, half an hour there
3. It’s not a “presence” I adore
4. The erotically swollen moon
5. Let me go, friends, companions
6. The soldier watches his kid in a play
7. He seems nothing less or more than “foreigner”
8. Grass. Dirt.
9. The bottle broke and all the women gathered shards
10. The effect was of inflation
11. There was only one alive moment in the day
12. Either I loved myself or I loved you
13. Just like a mother to say that
14. “Do you become very much?” she wrote

Work description:
Text in the work (English translation):
Every time my mother passed by the Bristol Hotel, she stopped, crossed herself, and told us to shut up.
“Silence !” she said, “This is where I lost my virginity.”
