Now that maybe in a year of quiet,
think: poetry helped me to this:
could not be happy, that I was denied, but
wrote: I was the victim
of begging and pride mixed
also and executed a few readers;
hand held out doors than ever, I have never seen;
a girl fell in another world at my feet.
But I wrote: I had this strange certainty,
the illusion of having the world in his hands
- what more perfect illusion! as a Baroque Christ with all his
unnecessary cruelty.
wrote, my writing was like weeds flower
unleavened but flowers in short,
the daily bread of uncultivated land:
a shell of thorns and roots.
life take these words as a child
glitter, pebbles by the river:
magic things in a perfectly useless
but you always come back to renew their charm.
The kind of madness with an old flying
after pigeons
imitating them was given to me instead of being used for something.
writing I condemned all
doubted my real existence
(days of my writing, solar abroad.)
all who served and those who were served
will say that because I wrote it
and death means working closely
, steal a few secrets.
Originally, the river is a vein of water
-there, for a moment, even in this high-
then at the end, a sea that no one sees
of those Brace life.
Because I wrote I hate embarrassing, but the sea
part of my writing itself:
the surf line in a verse I
foam I can reiterate poetry.
I was sick, no doubt
and not just insomnia,
also fixed ideas that made me read
with obscene attention to a few psychologists,
but I wrote and crime was lower,
paid him to write verse by verse,
because a word that fits into the abyss
comes a little intelligence
dark and light that many monsters are not executed.
Because I was not home wrote executioner
and I got carried away by the love of God and accepted
men
were gods did not want me as a clerk or poverty
seemed outrageous
or power
a desirable thing and washed my hands and I fouled
or my best friends were virgins or had
as Friend
a Pharisee or anger despite
wanted to disrupt my enemy.
But I wrote and I'm on my own,
because I wrote because I wrote I am alive. Sigrid
