Vodka

By Adam Sliwa

Vodka,

eau de vie

aquavitae,

beloved child

has many names.

The vodka is connected

to lífe, water- water of life,

they call it spirit.

Hence the vodka has

life and even spirit.

A life that gives life

to other lives

a spirit that

evokes other spirits.

What life and

spirit he will

give you, I cannot

tell you my friend.

But to swim with

the water of life

and struggle with

its spitit, be aware

of the currents and

the temptations

of the spirit.

Water will clean you,

too much water will

drench you.

To find your spirit

will make you

profound, to find

all the spirits will

make you go mad.

So drink my friend!

But remember some

drink to forget

others to remember

others cant remember

what they wanted

to forget.
