You don’t actually have to be able to see at all!
where that heron used to stand
a painting of a heron
In Weimar
the very trees are smothered
in historic moss
Immersed in a language you don’t understand,
you become even more attuned to the music of speech and the dark magic of writing.
A dream is like a small animal that disappears when you chase it
but will come back if you offer it food.
Unlettered in death,
we are immune to even the most appalling cliches.
