a t l a s t . . .



see I don't believe in the deterioation of the soul
so to speak; the words
within months
or within years
my eyes won't go blind
my teardrops won't dry
and yet; my words won't end
won't end
don't end
can't end?
never to be spoken
never to be written

see they live a seperate life
independent as a hog on ice
they go different directions
they ride different waves
and yes, they mingle with different notes
and of course different signs

I might say yes; with an inclamation
no ma'm, we are whispering
or I may go please; as one does
that's when they like to wash away with the tides


Am Anfang war das Wort, und das Wort war Gott,
und das Wort war Fleisch ... menschliches Fleisch ...
Am Anfang der Schrift.


muss man entscheiden
kann man nicht alles haben; alles wissen
am gleichen Mal
im gleichen Leben
