Baptismal Sink

--

Funeral of a Viking by Sir Thomas Francis Dicksee (1893)

Don’t pour the lustrous waters from your baptismal sink over my head.
I see that they have been standing for a long time, idle, waiting for the hours.
It’s hard and painful when you cannot recognize yourself in your own shelter anymore.
But my favorite dessert is waiting for me.
I take off my hat and forget.
