There is a You
A poem lives with the life you put into it.
There are your Presences
Your actions are your only true belongings.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
And the Spaces Inbetween
You show me continents, I see the islands, You count the centuries, I blink my eyes.
Know This First
Joseph Brodsky
”Any writer, as a poet, is exiled in language itself, in the language of communication; he creates a space which he can write his own language…Strangeness can be from oneself, from inside one’s own consciousness. Strangeness as absence of common experience, that of the inadequacy of language. It rebounds with the anxious search for those with whom communication becomes possible in spite of everything. In a state of self- loss, the exile searches for partners in exile, or for that which in childhood foreshadowed the exile to come.” Joseph Brodsky

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. A small river named Duden.
