| comment: | the poem:
sometimes i pick up something of significance on my way : a leaf from last year ein paar scherben from long ago a feather lost by a bird cinders a broken twig or a little flower for her there is nothing to be found
when i bring it to you
it was from last year
i empty my bag of findings
tomorrow i will say
the same different beautiful terrific a trace of footsteps
a valley
all in vain love a picture
the reason lost a picture without
once love
all ways a stick
loving you kissing touching
passing
notes
collecting
may days
stone or mountain why temple
from here
see
picked it up in the rain
the dust of some roads
a moment in the stream full - empty in the fullmoon night
