Let us touch each other
while we still have hands,
palms, forearms, elbows . . .
Let us love each other for misery,
torture each other, torment,
disfigure, maim,
to remember better,
to part with less pain.
I have brushed my teeth.
This day and I are even.

I broke your heart.
Now barefoot I tread
on shards.
Stichwörter: heartbreak
dropped
and falling
from such
heights
for so
long
that
maybe
I will have
enough time
to learn
flying
Stichwörter: learn time-for-learning
A Remedy for Insomnia
Not sheep coming down the hills,
not cracks on the ceiling--
count the ones you loved,
the former tenants of dreams
who would keep you awake,
once meant the world to you,
rocked you in their arms,
those who loved you...
You will fall asleep, by dawn, in tears.
Stichwörter: insomnia-cure
Why is the word yes so brief?
it should be
the longest,
the hardest,
so that you could not decide in an instant to say it,
so that upon reflection you could stop
in the middle of saying it.
Basked in the sun,
listened to birds,
licked off raindrops,
and only in flight
the leaf saw the tree
and grasped
what it had been.
… if necessary, the books shall be divided as follows:
you get the odd, I get the even pages;
"the books" are understood to mean the ones we used to read aloud
together, when we would interrupt our reading for a kiss,
and would get back to the book after half an hour …
Thought's surface: word.
Word's surface: gesture.
Gesture's surface: skin.
Skin's surface: shiver.
