Spring
He keeps humming on the moments of the midday-- hung out on the clothes-lines. -
The Voice Of Whiteness
It's the voice of whiteness -- a blue-throated restless silence : That's upon the peaks of life, and of death too; Found through meaninglessness at intervals -- -
Transparence
Down the very heart Of a wide expanse of waters Lies a music of transparence Of unfathomable sorrows. -
The Weight Of The Lead

The Words
Each word is an angel. Have to
Find each one in that smoky solitude — where
An evening drowns in the water — And above the
Dark forest suddenly is visible the glimmer of a star-studded sky — flapping
Its wings flies the bird of the night...

Find each one in an immobility inside the tremor
Where time stops in secrecy, and the meaningless mass of things
