Tonight, in the darkness, sometime before dawn, while the moon and stars grew pale under the ghostly light of the approaching sunrise, wandering across a vast field, whether of wheat or of poppies, somewhere there nearby, I met my death. Whether she was seated or had fallen to her knees, she gazed at me in total silence, her eyes worn and  so sorrowful, as if longing for something deeply, yet unable to express it in words. It felt as though we stared at each other for an eternity. At some point, I wondered if she needed help, and a profound sympathy for her plight engulfed me. But then, I contemplated that she, too, had unexpectedly come across me in this very field under the dawn sky, and she might perceive that I, too, was anticipating something from her. I realised that I had nothing to say to her, and noiselessly, I continued on my path toward where the dawn is born. Easter is approaching, and it is time to prepare for resurrection.

Waking up to calendars to dos
To kids to yous
To video calls to wars
Waking up to history

Waking up to waking ups
Having coffees having breaths
Having work
Talking projects
Celsius
Sunshines
Cats and cups
Books and bills
Loves and lives

Waking up to walking corners
Zebra crosses
Goals and grades
Exams and exits
Curtains and mirrors
And miracles
On the membrane of times
Keeping the World from being torn and unwoven. A thread.

Talks precise
Talks like shooting arrows
Bullets
Bombs
There is nothing we can precisely say.
The World is thought and spoken
In circles
In spirals
In unexpected and unsuspecting
Meetings of words
The World is spoken of freely
Clumsily
Naively
There is no truth
And if there is any
It’s this
Keeping the World from being torn and unwoven. A thread.

Tears

and Oh Skies!
and Oh Trees!

and I
had No
More
Voices

and the Universe
was rocking
as if into
Nothing
