Name, my name: a trace

in the face of life,

the face of faith.

A nearly nothing in utmost shame,

an abyss for blindness,

flameless fire in the depth of darkness.

endless night; name, my name:

seed of no deed – the shade of love.

Mind, my mind: insane

graveyard thought for

angel, muse and dream.

I dug the ground of being and I sowed

many young lost shadows,

doomful roses bloomed and faded, lonely,

shy to light, never bright.

My mind: the shade of life, what life?

Sometimes

I feel like being the subject and the object of your syntax,

prepositionising you.

I really could be

in

on

over

around

under

above you.

below

behind

before

near

after

I keep on wondering what I could do

to,

for,

with,

in and out of you.

It’s just that you’re so far away!
