Poems After Paul Celan
Flower
The stone.The stone in the air that I followed.
Your eye as blind as the stone.
We were
hands,
we scooped out the darkness, we found
the word which came up along the summer:
flower.
Flower – a word for the blind.
Your eye and my eye:
they supply
water.
Growth.
Heartwell by heart wall
puts forth new leaves.
One word more, like this, and the hammers
swing in the open.
