you

yes, you

no, not someone else,

you.

exactly, you who are reading
right now
here and now

that‘s right,
you

only you

i would like to ask
how are you?
what are you up to?
and how do you like what
you are up to?

earlier today
i sent a little star up to the nightsky
it will arrive in your nightsky
tomorrow afternoon

you‘ll catch it
by looking up
very up

there you will find it
up up

but the star won‘t bounce off your retina
it‘s not visible
it‘s special
it‘s from me, to you

you will sense the star
only if the sensation of it
is what you desire.

so if it is so,
that you want it to have
existence
then you can pick it down from up there
up very up there

this is not done by stretching your arm
and not by stretching thought
either
it is required that you stretch
both at the same space

hand and thought
thought and and

once you have caught it you may put it in your pocket
or in your heart
or next to
your ear
and listen
if it has something to say

or,Overiew picture of a desert.
you can throw it back up to the nightsky

it is yours
do with it what you like

i would however recommend that you give at least a few hours
trying to get to know it
because this star
as I said
is a star special

if you show it to someone else
this else will say it doesn‘t exist
and else is right it doesn‘t
exist to anyone else

it only exists
for you
for it was you
it was to

and what makes it so special
is that you will never ever be able to see it
and yet in it
you will find everything
everything
that you wish to find
in it

you,
by the way,
where do you live?
and are you pleased
with your live?

in a few days i will move to the big city down there
the city over there, you know, the city not so far from here

i hope that i will have a wonderful spring
and that you will have a wonderful spring
as well
a swell
spring and
summer
and fall
and fall
if you want to feel
free
and if you want digital contact
with me write to me
with ones and zeros
and if you want reality contact
with me then come there
to the city over there, not very far
from here,
you know

by the way, i have opened a new store
a nice, amazing and very well assorted farewell store

in it you can find every kind of imaginable farewell
hug, kiss, touch, wave, blink, tear, finally, not a day too soon, i will miss you
all of this can be found
in my stupendous farewell store
and the best part of it is that everything in my mindblowing farewell store
is for free
just take what you want
what do you want?

and you,
do you know what I think?

i think we shall whisper
when the world becomes water

we shall whisper
when water
becomes a word

we shall whisper
when we lose our world
because of water

whisper winter
when water drowns the world
with words
from nowhere

we shall whisper
when all words in the world
wither in the water
when winter
is nowhere
to be found

you, i wonder
how does your time
smell?

mine smells well

a nice smell
not completely captivating
but okey
kind of like nutmeg
not cinammonA rusty old lock. Photographed by Richard Seah.

since some days back i have felt a growing need for reflection and
silence
therefore
i spend a considerable part of my time reflecting
and silencing
more than usual

perhaps you would like it
if you like silence do you?

it feels very good leaving stockholm tomorrow
as if this chapter is over, for this time

time to start a new
but before i do
i would like to
gather what i have scattered
and ponder upon
whether my bond
to this pond
really is unfond
enough for me to say bye people,
now i‘m gone

the last few days have for this reason contained
less music than usual
less street than usual
less wheat than usal
not less wine than usual
because there is nothing lesser
than nothing

how is your mother, by the way?
do you have a mother, by the way?

sunglasses, i bought two
yesterday
and they are not
malfunctioning

there‘s been so much squinting going on lately
squinting to such a high degree
that i believe i have had an angry
look
but look,
i have not been angry
it is just that my facial muscles have been forced to work
too much
too hard
too long
toooooo.

today i will find a rollfriend
bicycle, velo
i need one of those.

after that i will find a place where i can live
because i can‘t live here
i need a place to live
i wonder if people who have no place
don‘t live
you have to find your place
in order to live
they say and i want to live
so that is why i want a place
because right now i am not alive

last night the moon put on a breathtaking show
i celebrated by eating honeydrops

the last stockholmweek before i came here
it felt like mashing potatoes were mashing in my head
had seventeen balls in the air
and my six hands were not enough
to make them stay there

but yesterday i slept well, many times
and well
the magic sleep, you know
the magic sleep

i‘ve been missing you.
my body, and everything in it
and everything not in it
has been trying to get a hold of something youish
but hasn‘t found more than air
and has therefore
been forced to find satisfactionvin thinking
of you, which is the reason you have been forced to run
in my thinking
among neurons
and synaptical connections

who are you, by the way?
are you someone, by the way?
or are you no one
or are you by the way?

and you by the way,
how are you?

i feel very well
on a day like this
a gray day
and i say
hooray
and say,
would you like to play
chess?

when i feel well i like chess
who won the game of chess, is a question often heard
both
should be an answer often heard

i have a suggestion,
today
we shall sing a song
whistle lullaby
jump rope
and hope that our jumping
somehow
puts gold in our eyes
your eyes and mine

i have one more suggestion
today
let us find a
spot
where grows wild diamonds
up on a field
behind the mountains through which it flows a river over which stretches a bridge on which walks a donkey
working
pulling
making
money
because without money
empty is belly
empty is day
without money one does not get around
with money one gets around
or no
by the way
with money one gets not around
without money
one gets around
and i want to get around
a problem
consisting of a leaf
falling
very slowly falling
and there is an elephant
standing on this leaf
while it is falling
very slowly falling
and i wonder how is it possible that an elephant can stand on this leaf
falling
very slowly
falling
and i believe that
either the elephant very light is
to be an elephant
or the leaf is very strong
to be a leaf
or am i
who am watching
looking at
moving in light of speed
or are the elephant
and leaf
and this i find reasonable
in my mind
and the mind
is so kind
so free
it makes me free
it takes
me out of cage
giving me wind
to fly
lift from die
fly like the fly
do you have a fly
or don‘t you
like to fly?

i recently came to a townOld hand touching orange flower in dark blue evening light.
after long day‘s journey towards the end of the night

coming here
i saw a moon, a fire
a boat and the seats in the bus
were not soft

coming here
a question popped up
said look at me
and i looked at it
and was told
to pass it on to you
which is what i am doing
now

would you like me to come and pay
a visit
to you
over there where
you are you

just a couple of days
in the beginning of next month
how does that sound?

i can bring two cakes
one for you
whoever you are
and one for me
whoever i are
and then we can have a party
a hoorayparty
for ourselves
whoever we now
and then and will
are

did you know, by the way that we are a community of communities
you me he she together are we a community
and you me he she everyone every one in his or her self is a community
you, i have a question are you confused or is everything crystal clear?

as for me
i would say that i am not confused
but neither am i crystal clear

when i am not crystal clear
when i can‘t make up my mind
i like to look, twist, turn
leave space
for hesitation
reflection
and hypothesisization

when i feel that i have accomplished as good as i can complish
with the hesitation
reflection
and hypothesisization
i usually make a decisision
which kind of makes the un leave
the clear

after that i follow the decision
and follow it until
i find reason for revision
whereupon tinking
and the reflection
of the hypnotizization
is resumed
and finishing the process
is the sacred mission

what is your method
when you aren‘t crystal clear?

i try my best
with my decisions and the following
of them
and something very nice with this
is the fact that as long as i can look myself in the river
and honestly say that i tried
my best
i very seldom get scared

are you scared?
of what?

fear used to play a big role in my life
but for various reasons this is no longer the case

but one thing still scares me
and that is fear,
it kind of makes me stop

i have gotten to know pain
and i don‘t feel like dwelling
in the details, not like this
but the fear
that i sometimes get to see
wakens something
that i don‘t want awakened

someone told me that you might be going to canada
is it possible
or is it probable
or is it unthinkable
or is it unbelievable
that you are going to canada?

if you‘re really going there
i hope that canada
will treat you well
and if you like to paint
that the paint
will treat the eye well
and the color white
by the way
has come to fascinate me
it seems to whisper something that i can‘t hear
but it sounds nice anyway
and my new city is also nice
and kind
and a bit angry and in some places heavy
many searching eyess
and it‘s not me they‘re searching
because when i meet these eyes
the searching in them doesn‘t go away
but despite this i find the city beautiful
it appears to have weight
on its shoulders
and i enjoy it here
and i think i will do it for some time to come

how are you getting along
with your city
with this day?

the last months have
to me
been kind of like a kaleidoscopic
carnevalcaravancavalcade

lately so much city
so much car
so much ad
so little whisp

i need a hand on my back
or a mountain
or a river, where a sea is flowing
or a sea, where a ball is flowing
and the ball is round
but not round like a ball
it‘s round like a sea
and in every tree
there is sap
flowing

in every tree there is a sea

when the trees are flowing
sap becomes a fountain
there is a mountain
this day

now
there is me
here
is me
this day

there is something in front of
this day
something bigger than
this day
where there is one i
who lives
and one i
that only survives

i have a liver
living
in me
this day

there is a thread flowing in every sea
there is a thread threaded
between every tree
and there is a sun in every sea
and there is a sun who shines
this day

there is a moon reflecting this day
there is an i reflecting
about the sea flowing in a river

i have one chair
to sit on
and one chair to
stand on and one bed
to rest in and
when i rest i
rest below the reflection
from the moon
from this day

i want to jump
high
so that i can hang
in trees
in threads
in me
in the morning
in the evening
in a space
where there is space
for all that will be
all that was
all that is
this day

i want to jump rope
on a planet
a planet kind of like this one
but a little smaller
a little bigger

i often hope that i
and you
will learn to swim
around the planet and run
through the atmosphere
through the world
to a cloud resting
on a field
leaning towards a tree
and drinking the sap from
the same tree

between every city
there is a me
and where there is me
there is you
and since i am this day
then you are this day
but squared
deared

that is why i can calculate your radius
by multiplying myself
with every me
and you
with every day

i can calculateBlue basket of clothes being carried on the head by a man in a red hat.
your volume
by inhaling deeply
then releasing
reliefing

sometimes i see
everything so clearly
that i become a star
a mother

if there was no me
then there would be a you
anyway
but you
would be someone else
in every way


if there was no me
i would not be able to dance
not eat
but there would still be a me
in the guise of an unme
and unme would be unhere
this unday
and this unday i would try to find unyou
and unwe would jump
with unease
down into a boat
and in the boat we would unrow
on a lake sinking
into a song singing
its own song

songs singing
on lakes sinking
giving sap
to trees
and threads
to trees
and giving a machine that would demolish every machine and would then destroy itself so that there no longer would be any machines left and over this man would feel such a relief that she never again would even think about ever creating another machine and would instead devote herself to exclusively start thinking of the sea
of sap
of this day
of the threads threaded
between trees and the sea
in the river flowing
to every tree threaded
by thread to other
trees to
this day

this day i will run
on a tongue stung
by a bee
who wanted to be
on another planet

a planet not at all like this one

the planet notatalllikethisone is far away

it is yellow
it is good
it stands firmly
on two legs
often goes for a walk
when it feels like going for a walk
and when it feels like sleeping
it does so
that the heavy trees fall
to the ground and in the fall
the leaves fall
off the trees

i am quite heavy
when compared to uni

he weighs practically nothing
just an ounce or so
enough for me to say
that he weighs practically nothing

practically
is the last name of uni
practically has been around
for more than a thousand generations
and practically is still here
this day
like dismay
from an unday

but as soon as we say that we are there
we have left there
i like leaving things
behind
in front
and then i like to pick things

to go out in to the forest and pick words can be a pleasant activity on a sunny day

sweep the hand along the earth
and pick all the words
that have experienced birth
and then you can put the words in a basket and take the basket home and put the basket on a shelf but before you put the basket on the shelf it might be wise to take all the words out that have experienced birth in the earth of the forest and do something with them perhaps do a earthbirthforestpuzzle of ten thousand pieces which could for example be done on a weekend when you just feel like staying home the whole day two whole day even three whole days just because there has been so much going on lately that it kind of feels better to just stay home and do a puzzle with the words of earthbirth that it just does not matter too much that the puzzle has ten thousand pieces it could have one hundred thousand pieces it just does not really matter

i have some good friends
who can do puzzles of one hundred thousand pieces
and they do it quickly
about as long as it takes for you and me to brush our teeth
perhaps quicker even
if, in this comparison, instead of you and me, we would refer
to someone, who at the time of comparison, finds him or herself in a phase of his or herlife where he or shefeels forced to redirect a big part of the energy which is usually directed towards his or heroral hygiene to not start thinking the thought “i think i‘m going crazy” as a consequence to the repeated attempts in the last four days to resist the temptation to scratch an eczema which itches more than two eczema

i have never had an eczema
but i can imagine that this phenomenon
is of great inconvenience
to the person affected
i have, however, gotten an ex
two ex
even three ex
tremely pleasant qualities

the first one is to row
the second is to grow
the third one is to believe
in trees
in threads threaded
between the trees
and in the sap of the trees
and in the sap of this day
and in this day
which is growing
flowing
in the sea

what do you believe?
do you believe
in me?

where do you live?
do you live
on me?

now i live here
in my new city
in my new here
now i live here
really here

i moved into my new here a couple of days
ago
and it is so nice
my new here

in total
we are twenty people in the house
and those that i have met so far
have seemed sweet
kind of like butterflies
with extra butter

the room is big, large
and extremely okey
and the house is big, alive
and equally extremely
ok

and the streets breathe, they move
and the people on the streets move
as well
both in the world outer and world inner
and in the room is growing
since yesterday
two green, friendly plants
and yesterday i received my mattress

it is soft, but not too soft, one of those mattresses
that you sleep very well on,
you know
the magic sleep
the electrical sleep

a fourth hand desk and chair have also found their place
and today i bought a basketball
and yesterday i found an electrical typewriter
and now i‘m hunting a cord
for it
and if it
will wake
up
i will from
now on write
more letters on
paper and
less letters with
digits

do you have a postal address?
what is it? where
is it?

i like it so much here
in my new town
so very much here
in my new town

i look forward to, when things get settled,
sit down and write
all of that that
i want to write
and i have gotten myself a pair of speakers and a recording device
and with this i will record and device and rerecord and redevice
sound.

i slept so well last night. it felt so good.

lately so much.

so many places
so many human
beings so now i want to sit
down
and look
out
create
for
digest
with
work
out
the body
is beat
needs careoftaking

yesterday i wanted to kiss you twice
once on your stomach and once on your upper arm
and then i wanted to lay
down
and lay
my hand on your shoulder and close my eyes
and that is what i did
in thought
and it soothed

if you ever want to come here
you are welcome.

it would be delicious.
just shout or
whisper.

now i‘m searching a shelf
to put clothes
on
and still a cord
to
the typewriter
which
is electrical
and a cheap sofa
to
rest on and to
be put
in
the corner of the room
next
to the window
to
read
on
and a shoerack
for
my shoes and my daughter‘s
shoes
and then a lamp
for
the light
or
two even and then everything should be done,
then i live here
for real, even more
for
real

and you
do you live for real
or are you just pretending?

i would really like for you to come and visit
would really like to see you
but not in stockholm
here
and not with fear
just you and me

just for a little while
a few days perhaps

you can stay at a hotel
or on the street
or in my place
it doesn‘t matter
you‘re welcome in every possible way and impossible
is nothing

how do you look, by the way?Clothes hanging to dry in the sun.
i look good, by the way.

i dreamt of you last night again
and i believe that my dreams are trying to tell me something
and i believe it might be that i need to meet you
and just be
for just a few days
or so

let me know
if also you want

and you,
i just have to tell you something.
i have to say wow.

wow,
i like living so much

a hug to
you

and hug all children you see
from me

they are so beautiful,
the children.

today i went running in the park
there it was swarming with whisperwhite willows
and birds flying
and birds falling

and nowadays most things move slowly
nowadays i move slowly
look out through the window
take
a walk
eat lunch.
come home and look out
through the window
sit.
sleep.
and notice
how much that happens
when things move slowly.

now things move slowly.
wake up.
look.
window.
listen
to music
and notice
how much music there is in the music
when things move slowly
and i notice
how much i don‘t eat
when things move slowly

when i move slowly
i notice
that others notice
me
for moving slowly

when i move slowly
i notice
that my body likes
when things move slowly

when my body likes what i do
with it
i notice
that everything really move
quite slowly.

when i talk slowly
i notice
that others understand better
what i have to say
in case they haven‘t fallen asleep before i have said everything that i had to say

when others understand better what it is that i am trying to say
i understand better what it is that i am trying to say

when things move slowly
i stay for long in the same place
and i don‘t bother so much to think of
if there is any other place
which might be better

when things move slowly
i see that the sounds of the city
are very high
i see that the houses of the city
are very high
i see that the light from the sun
want
us
well
i see that every choice
contains an inherent beauty
which can be seen
on the top floor
of my dreams

when i move slowly
i understand
that i will have a long life
i will become
about one hundred and thirty five years old
and it feels very good that i have so many years to look forward to,
that i haven‘t even lived one fourth of my life
and still i can do so much.

i can read
run
calculate
analyze
embrace
kiss
touch
hurt
forgive
disappear
change
change
wonder
enjoy
the wonders
the wonderful
of every day
of every being
and i can climb
and love
my child
make her laugh
grow.

all of this
and i haven‘t even lived one fourth of all my years
in all my lives

what can you do?
can you hear?
what i am trying to say?

in the coming weeks i will receive many visitors
and i look forward to.

have actually kind of grown
tired of all these new acquaintances
introductions
presentations, of me
attempts
to answer the question
who is me?

it is so difficult to answer
i prefer
to just look
and be looked at
listen
and be listened to
touch
and be touched by
it‘s usually easier that way
to understand
to find
the answer to the question
which is so difficult
to question

you, how are you now?
how is your brain
and heart
blood and body?

now i will pick you one thousand tulips
and hand them to your hand

today
is the day when everything will change!

i can feel it

of course, every day is such a day
but nonetheless, at least i feel
that this deserves to be celebrated
applauded
standing ovated

or what do you say
my dear friend
and fellow traveller

if you want
i can tell you about shifting elements
and uneven surfaces

today i walked on sidewalk
then another side of the sidewalk
and then i had to decide
weather to recide
recede
receive
or recite
and i chose neither

instead i took my shoes off and walked barefoot

on grass
on gravel
on sand
on water
and it felt good

the feet had been longing
for long
longlonging

then i went to a pool
and jumped in the water
because there was water
in the pool
and suddenly the city changed

everything happened really fast
kind of like a car crash
when everything changed
when water embrace
body instead water

today you were circulating quite ovally inside me.

i saw something that i had not before seen
and that which i saw
gave me a pleasant emotion

does it ever happen
that also you
sometime wonder
if god has a hat
on head?

i don‘t think god has a hat
on head

i don‘t think god has head
to have hat on

but god
i believe

has a skin
to touch

god has a ground
to stand

god has two legs
to stand

god has a skin
naked

now is god
awakened

are you awakened?
or are you sleeping?
or don‘t you care?
about sleeping?

right now i‘m taking a walk in the middle of the night
i sit down on the sidewalk
on the wrong side of it
and now i hear
from above
a woman very much enjoying what i believe is an act of intimation

she groans
i listen
and some bypassers do the same
listen
not groan
and they laugh a little
and they keep on bypassing
but i don‘t
i stay

her groaning sounds nice
i find

now i head home
and my head my dome
is tired
so i sleep

now a friend calls and want me to open
and now i walk down the stairs to open
and i open
and my friend says
“i thought you were sleeping”
and i say
“i was,
but it doesn‘t matter,
enter”
and my friend enters
and gives me a hug

now it is morning and i leave
and now i arrive
to a new city
a capital

now i need vitamine c
so i buy orange juice
for thirty five
and now i calculate
that it takes the women
on the nepalese rice fields
three days
to earn enough money
to buy an orange juice
in this new capital

now i am thinking about me, the cell
and now i am thinking about the more than fifty billion
cells
living in me, the cell
being in me
being me
and now i am thinking about how these fifty billion cells in me breathe
move
work
rest
drink
eat
communicate
with their fellow cells
and now i am thinking of me, the cell
and how i breathe
move
work
rest
drink
eat
communicate
with my fellow woman
and man
and now the thunder begins to thunder
and the lightning to lighten
and the rain to rain
and the storm to make
the people run
or hide
or buy an orange, apple, banana, nectarine
and eat all these fruits

that is what i do
because i don‘t like running from storms
and neither do i like hiding
from them

now i hop on a bus and travel through woods
an after a few hours end up
in stockholm

now i meet my colleagues and we discuss
how to slay the monster
and after that make the world go sane

now i see my friends
who i haven‘t seen for long
and it‘s very nice
for a few hours

because now, after a few hours
i see lust
and these lusts look so familiar
so now it feels good that this here
is no longer my here

now i swim in a cold lake
which doesn‘t feel so cold after all
and now i fall asleep in the forest
and now i swim in another cold lake
which doesn‘t feel so cold
either
after all

now i make some people happy
and now i make some other people angry
and now i say
that it‘s probably for the better
anyway

it usually goes that way

now i run in the forest and i run fast
and a rottweiler runs behind
faster
and jumps high
this dog
and bites
me
and i turn around and i am going to kick
it
but now the dog is quiet
steps back
a little scared i think
because that is how people usually behave when they are scared

they are quiet
and take a step backClose-up picture of colorful beads.

so i‘m not kicking anything

instead i write
to you
and now
i want to hold you
but i can‘t
so instead i write
hold you

and now i no longer want to be in the city
so i go out in the forest
and here i find
a pause
a peace
a quiet
a boat
two oars
cloudberry
a badger
a moose
a fox
mountain
riverripple
twelve degree water
a swim
in twelve water
chess
a big lake
chirping
waves
mint
oregano
a cabin
two longing
bright day
bright night
bridge
a thanks
that you exist
and one more thank
for existing so good

now i think that it should be taken
from those who have
and don‘t need

from those have
taken for thousands of days

from those who have
pulling and pushing those who don‘t have
wherever they want
like they want
trying to break their battle
by taking their time
thought
life
like were they cattle

it should be given
to those who don‘t have
and need
and to work
against the system
that has turned man into merchandise

and to work
for the transition
from man the machine
to man the miracle

transition
from hard life
to live life

from mind in cage
to mind engaged

and now i give you
a soft kiss on your hand
and if you want
another soft kiss
on your other hand

how many hands do you have?
i have two
but would like to have more

today i saw a wonderful film
i didn‘t see all of it
but it was wonderful anyway

i like it here
i like it you

sometimes it feels like
i see you
even though i don‘t see you
feels like i am with you
even though you‘re not
with me
like i know who you are
but not
who you are

sometimes dream want i
touch
you
skin

meeting you has done something with me

tonight i will become a star
i will lie down somewhere between the sun and alpha centauri

if you want you can look at me up there
and if you want you can think about
whether or not the downfall of this system
is an inevitability
and the revolution our possibility
to give the earth
the wild
the human
being
freedom

perhaps you didn‘t know this
but i have a cranium
made of nickel and cadmium
and i usually use plenty of cardamom
instead of cinammon
as much as there is nickel and cadmium
in my accumulating cranium
where there is a faucet
out of which it runs
and when it sometimes runs
over
i like to receive a stroke
so that my nickelcadmiumaccumulator
in my crumbling cardamomcranium
stops accumulating more ms and cs and squared
you know,
like in that famous equation

when it doesn‘t run enough
i like to put them to work
them in me
keep unemployment down
low levels
keep salaries high
keep supply and demand
in equilibrium
in delirium
in my cranium
of nickel and cadmium
so that they who have created me
and keep creating me
are working
together
for me
to make me
well
and i feel so well
all is so well
when those in me are working
together

i want to know
what is not
your occupation?

and now i am going to be honest
and say
that something has happened to me
lately
something changed
something heavy came
into my
i

part of me feels somewhere else
feels small and less small
wholes
feels soulsick

i have seen this heavy before
and then it became heavier
a bit too heavier
to be fun
anymore

i have an angel who want to fly
with me

she is herenow
and i want to fly
and i feel
right nowthat i need to let go of this heavy
in order for the wings
to bear
but i‘m not sure how to let go of this heavy
this heavy has made me a bit confused
at this moment i‘m not really capable of making an adequate estimation of the lucidity of my thinking
but the thoughts that i can
identify
are saying that the thoughts to
of and around
you
out there
in front of my letters,
these thoughts are saying
that thinking of you is rather heavy
and need to lose weight
in order to fly

i‘m not sure what that means
but i needed to say it anyway
because my angel is waiting
for me
and now i embrace you
and embrace
me

by the way, do you like embracing?
or do you prefer icecream?

now it is one month ago that i wrote icecream?
and for a while there
i thought it would end there
but now i‘m back
and i hope that you are still here,
are you that
are you here
are my words still dear
to you?

yes
it pleases me that you are still here
still my words dear
because i would really like to tell you
that this the lastest month of my life has been closer to beyond descripition than any other month in my life

it feels like i‘ve been flying
up, and flying upper
and even sleep
up there
up up there

i haven‘t been thinking so much of you
this last month
but when i recently sat by window breathing nightair
i sensed
that the lack of thoughts
had just been replaced by an energy
born in the joy
of meeting you
and perhaps
i then thought
it is possible that these the thoughts
and this the energy
are poles apart
keepers of a balance
from different angles
so that they
at any given point in time
can‘t coexist
in the same point
in space

anyway,
those thoughts who less than one hour ago poured upon me
created a wish
a desire
to recall the times we have spent
together

these times that you and your eyes
have read me
and my letters

when the images of these times
were opening i understood why i
have felt like i have felt

those these seconds
those these minutes, hours
those these days
that we have spent together
when being recalled i see
that they are surrounded by a shimmer
glowing
warming

thank you.
