Hope is a luxury. Eternal night in blood
it threatens the imaginary eye with a blind wall.
O fire dark behind you, who first
to kiss so I kiss, I can't remember.
Do I know what I knew? Do I know what I will know:
skeleton lonely lost name
wonderfully attuned to the emptiness he remembers
barrenness of flower and barrenness of winter.
I am an anxious lover of that flower
which lures the sun and emptiness out of me
turns into a nightingale, when different from the world
my face pours and turns me into dust.
But by forgetting I preserved the world and I preserve it
for all time from time and dust
Oh where are those places when the wind blows
and desolation moves? Where is my shy star?
The lowly yearn for a song in vain! I'm reading
on the knees area that opens
in the being in the empty stone where it is hidden
the last star whose brightness does not deceive.
