"Just like Ullyses
On an open sea
On an odyssey
Of self discovery"

and then

and then the heart beats
a cat runs up a pole
cars pass, small flowers
at the roadside and dust
on the road, it itches
in your nose, you sneeze,
the cat dislikes it, haughty
and high, you walk into
town, mother toads  push
their prams, young bankers
try to make a fortune
swinging their notebooks,
blown up emptiness sails
through the street corners
very much like shit balloons,
and when somebody smiles
at you you run frightened that
they may burst all, a sick smell
comes from the gutters, shop keepers
grumble, newborns cry, no
place is safer than the road,
the desert, solitude,
and noise knows variations
but not one moment of silence,
you are happy when you hear a bird
calling for the night, you greet rats
prowling the sidewalks, and all
you want to be is out, a stranger
to life in the city, you crawl under
a bench and pull grass over your ears,
leaves across your eyes, you cover
your nakedness with moss and herbs,
and then before falling asleep
you see this large black moon
and the thin sickle glittering beneath,
you can be happy, after all there
are cycles not only lines,
forged into the earth, into this night
and the next, the earth turns,
the sun turns, you turn.
the big wheel turns, and your blood
breathes into the wind, darkness
and all there is. there is no
meaning, only now
where you have been.

frozen moment

it is the hum of beehives,
the crackle in powerlines,
noise filling caves deep down,
the hiss of snakes
amplified in echoes,
touching raw nerve and
my mind between opening
and closing, frozen and empty,
all happens without a pause,
all air trapped, a long and breathless motion
when all stops and drowns,
a heartbeat missed, another,
an eternal dive, pressure in my ears
under tons of water, impenetrably dark
until at last a last release
of breath and air and life-
let go noise and pain,
let go life and death,
drift up as a corpse,
face down, eyes unseeing,
all stops until the wheel
pulls you out, shakes you,
makes you walk the earth
again, unwillingly you go.
you don’t know who you
are nor where you go.
ships and men and worms meet
and somebody lifts his hat,
another says hello, baring
his teeth, her teeth, they
want to eat you, ignore them
and they will go.
rub your head, all is but
a dream in a dream.
only noise and silence.
