Void VII

UNDER A PICTURE


Swarming of ravens over a wheat billow.
Blue of which heaven? The higher? Nether?
Late arrow that the soul released.
Louder whirring. Nearer glow. This world and the other.
Paul Celan

LITTLE NIGHT: when you
take me inside, take me
up there,
three pain-inches above the
floor:


all those shroud coats of sand
all those can'thelps,
all that still
laughs
with the tongue-
Paul Celan

Void V

FALLOW-VOICED, lashed
forth from the depth:
no word, no thing,
and either's unique name,


primed in you for falling,
primed in you for flying,


sore gain
of a world.
Paul Celan

AT BRANCUSI'S THE TWO OF US


If one of these stones
were to give away
what it is that keeps silent about it:
here, nearby,
at this old man's limping stick,
it would open up, as a wound,
in which you would have to submerge,
lonely,
far from my scream, that is
chiselled already, white.
Paul Celan

HOW YOU die out in me:


down to the last
worn-out
knot of breath
you're there, with a
splinter 
of life.
Paul Celan

Void II

IT IS NO LONGER
this
heaviness
lowered at times together with you
into the hour. It is
another.


It is the weight holding back the void
that would
accompany you.
Like you, it has no name. Perhaps
you two are one and the same. Perhaps
one day you also will call
me so.
Paul Celan

YOU WERE my death:
you I could hold
when all fell away from me.

In thy long Paradise of Light
No moment will there be
When I shall long for Earthly Play
And mortal Company-
Emily Dickinson
