The future and the past are getting separated

The future and the past are getting separated
and are moving out of each other’s homes,
but you, child, are remaining alone.

Do not get attached to the past with a name,
so that the future without a name can enter your everyday life,
and when you give it a name and call it “bird”,
the bird will sit in your hand.
And when you give it a name and call it “river”,
the river will gurgle from your hands.
