Bestelle dein Haus, denn du wirst sterben
und nicht lebendig bleiben.
(Isaiah 38, 1/Bach Cantata no. 106)
ZKG1
four swans fly high
above the sound
they seem to know
where they are bound
they fly in an
ascending line
combine to form
a secret sign
they slowly slice
the sky in two
as on they move
right out of view
i have no way
possess no art
to stop the folds
that fall apart
ZKG2
the blackbird chirps and
trills away
he improvises
every day
or so it seems though
it may be
he shapes his song to
fit his tree
and seamlessly the
two then merge
and fill the space where
they converge
ZKG3
Mein Fall ist, in Kürze, dieser: es ist mir
völlig die Fähigkeit abhanden gekommen,
über irgend etwas zusammenhängend
zu denken oder zu sprechen.
(Hugo von Hofmannsthal,
Brief des Lord Chandos an Francis Bacon)
from early on
i pinned my hopes
on words alone
so when they lie
there in my hands
like smooth sea-stones
bereft of meaning
this represents
a loss of faith
a gain of gravitas
ZKG4
get things done right now
i say to myself
don’t procrastinate
don’t shilly-shally
there’s so little time
but there’s every time
each and every time
every nowest now
