In my opinion, poetry has to provide an answer to our difficult era, though usually it does this in a very indirect way.

Every night, every day, and every night
I listen while wandering without aim,
But wake to find myself again in sight
Of everything that still remains the same.

both of us are poets with a sense of responsibility (only it manifests mostly through poetry), and that is why we wrote what we wrote

Now the dusty, yellowed gold treasury of old news unfolded before my eyes. That was K.’s intention – to acquaint me with erased history. He turned the fragile pages: “From yesterday you’ll learn something about today. I don’t have the patience to read so much.” Thus began my era of Revival.

don’t think about dust
or about
what we turn into

the ghost ship will sail
full of darkness
in its hold

I feel the sea with my fingers, feet, ankles, barely swirling – the waves aren’t breaking today. The water slowly envelops my body, as if I am sinking into a well with walls into infinity – where is this feeling from which I am returning?

In my earliest memory
I’m six months old.
Father lays me down on a black duvet
with white polka dots.

the mind becomes more mindful
and sight remains insightful
night draws nigh as day recedes
and what is heavy has been heaved
