The winters always follow faster upon one another. Time storms hurriedly away and I don't want to follow it anymore. Stars sink and in the meantime drunken toads eat and drink my thinking-stone. Stars are nests of light and sink into the nest. As a child, I was given to reconnoitering, recognizing. Now I have been led for years by gloom into blackness. Do you know it? Pairs of eyes dead full of time look earnestly across the border between being and nothingness. I saw the blackbird full of thorn-bites and the faded rose full of sand in the blind sea. The moss picture left in misery, the song full of malicious significance. I saw sand full of sand and the blind roses in the lake.
