somewhere i have never travelled,gladly
beyond
any experience,your eyes have their
silence:
in your most frail gesture are things
which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too
near
You need not leave your room.
your slightest look easily will unclose
me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as
Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her
first rose
Remain sitting at your table and
listen.
or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very
beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere
descending;
You need not even listen, simply
wait, just learn to become quiet, and still and solitary.
nothing which we are to perceive in this
world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose
texture
compels me with the color of its
countries,
rendering death and forever with each
breathing
The world will freely offer itself to
you to be unmasked
(i do not know what it is about you that
closes
and opens;only something in me
understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all
roses)
nobody, not even the rain, has such small
hands
It has no choice, it will roll in
ecstasy at your feet.
Sometimes we artists can create something beautifully,
suddenly that we never planned at all - if we will simply
listen.
