not all misadventures
fit within the world’s laws
and even if they wanted to,
they couldn’t happen. »

« We have a soul at times...
For every thousand conversations
it participates in one,
if even that,
since it prefers silence...
Joy and sorrow
aren’t two different feelings for it.
It attends us
only when the two are joined.
We can count on it
when we’re sure of nothing
and curious about everything. »

« Other loves
still breathe deep inside me.
This one’s too short of breath even to sigh.
Yet just exactly as it is,
it does what the others still can’t manage:
unremembered,
not even seen in dreams,
it introduces me to death. »

« There must have been some reason,
however slight,
but even the Naked Truth, busy ransacking
the earth’s wardrobe,
won’t betray it. »

« Everything I tell you is a monologue,
and it’s not you who listen.
Talking with you is essential
and impossible.
Urgent in this hurried life
and postponed to never. »

« The same star keeps us in its reach.
We cast shadows based on the same laws.
We try to understand things, each in our own way,
and what we don’t know brings us closer too. »

« When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no nonbeing can hold. »

« Let people exist if they want,
and then die, one after another:
clouds simply don’t care
what they’re up to
down there. »

« I also had responsibilities:
waiting, trusting.
Since he would turn up briefly and then vanish.
What kept him down there in the lowlands, I don’t know.
I guessed, though, it must be pressing business,
at least as pressing
as my battle with the cats
and everything that moves for no good reason.»
