Give yourself up for lost says the tempest

The Best Poem Of Manfred Peter Hein
Book Of Disquiet
Abandoned oil mill's thatched roof
shadow that falls where I read
the Book of Disquiet while
like yesterday the mule
rubs its way along the seawall
scratching itself on the olive tree
Shadow's voice prospects
in the shade
at the same hour
Where
might those who
in truth truly live
a life alive be
Translation: Nicholas Grindell
