A poem from 'Palimpsest', Høeck's latest collection


WOMAN WITH WILD FLOWERS
(1907)

it’s easy enough –
i give my love a bouquet
of roses with this

poem stuck onto
the cellophane as a flo
ragram – now comes the

hard bit how is this
possible before the po
em has been finished

(which is not until
now) when i’ve already giv
en her the roses?
