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

I contemplate old age now, while I still can, while I am still capable of recording its features, while I can still see its spies.

Dangerous times. Strange days.
No matter when you leave home – it's night.
Night and the flames of camp stoves in the sky
As if a crowd of tourists had waded
Into a forest glade.

The body is my news.
Everything is written there that others need to know.
And they need to know that what I experienced
is not so easy to forget.
