wild sweet words to set your Heart A-Fire
moving forward
|
|
Whoever you are -
some evening take a step
|
|
|
|
out of your house which you know so well
|
|
|
|
Enormous space is near -
your house lies where it begins
|
|
|
|
whoever you are
|
|
|
|
Your eyes find it hard to tear themselves
from the sloping threshold, but with your eyes
slowly, slowly, lift one black tree
up, so it stands against the sky:
skinny alone
|
|
|
|
With that you have made the world
|
|
|
|
The world is immense
and like a word that is still growing in the silence
|
|
|
|
In the same moment that your will grasps it
|
|
|
|
your eyes,
feeling its subtlety, will leave it. . . .
|
|
