I get to know
my other father
by making trips

with you and wherever
we are you know something
about him to tell

and so I see
besides the memories
myself in other mirrors

Light falls on features
I know but that now
seem to cast other

shadows in this cave
of my thoughts, longing
for the warmth of the sun
For Hans B

Allegory of the cave (375 BC, Plato, dialogue "Politeia" ["Republic"], VII 514a-520a)
