The Waking

snuh

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

Vórtice

Del mar, a la montaña,
por el aire,
en la tierra,
de una boca a otra boca,
dando vueltas,
girando,
entre muebles y sombras
displicente,
gritando,
he perdido la vida,
no sé dónde,
ni cuándo.

Oliverio Girondo

A man thought’s

by Eelco Kruidenier

A man thought
When will I
Stop thinking about her?
Now?

He sat down
And did not think about her
For one whole minute

Then he got up
And walked on
As he thought more
And more
Even more
Without pause
About her
