024: I eat the poem/trying to consume it...

DateWednesday, November 10, 2010 at 6:44AM

I eat the poem

trying to consume it

to finally know myself

 

It is like trying to

look at the sun

using the moon, that

poor, beautiful mirror

 

Looking at her

I see the sun trying

to hide from me behind

the world - but there is

no hiding for him

 

And for me there is this maze

this tapestry of words

and I remain hidden

obscure

because there is no mirror

because I have no moon
