V
that nothing was nothing but a means to
think being
this is what you thought but it is not
enough
because of value you have to reflect on
nullity
not as a fractional coin of thought but
as something produced
even though invented and put there squarely
by shadowy thoughts
nullity remains as construed
nullity means that which lacks memory
silent like walls cries float around
existing existence and mere fancies like
this
sold in kid's shoes when the grammar was
appearing of thought
exercise in the attican air and beyond
this murmurings
towards highly esteemed guardians
forgottenness takes it she the eraser
of all important writings
as a counterpart of memory not nullity
indispensible rather when you step out
of the forest of shades
but on secret paths they carried coined
mióney across the mountains
when delphi turned mute
and stoned with sarcharya the word that
was thrown like a stone
o parmenides whiteheaded ontologist who
can blame you for zenon
and you rayheaded one that plato turned
positive
but the eagle remains what she was
the types slid like messengers on shimmering
surface to their goal and returned
sefiroth all namable things indivisible
ready for you
the baldinette by which you the starving
one held on to your happiness
on the tower of the palazzo vecchio
in the room overlooking the via cavour
and next to the gate of the gardens
the smiling mouth in the oval face and
under boddhisattva eyelids
the sky-like blue of her eyes
silk hair and more beautiful than brunelleschi's
coppola his head
and not the prego of the morining in the
pensione aglietti
not caffelatte and pane the flowered curtains
of a time not lost
in a curve the ill flowed around me and
through the shelf passed the saale
there you saw my childlike heart
an unstubborn one it looked for itself
in the scriptures and wanted to die with all
smilingly you in the sky took up with
it
for to read it has not learned up to now
and still has to practice
fully nothing it knew of your present
rest
