"pour qu’en rentrant la nuit dans notre chamber nous acceptions l’inacceptable."
János Pilinszky
hymn for Les Nga Tai
beloved
it was
what you expected
being
recesses
from north
burning ground
horses
height of clouds
throne
of flesh
under stars
disappearing
into dark
star
thresh
go down
to water
see spectre
shadows
conceive
in circle
beloved
make earth
tremble
divine
heart of sea
fingertips
touching face
beloved
after arrows
aimed
seed
stone
come
cast out
bodies
approaching
salvage slowly
time
beloved
walk in flesh
solemn
as stone
for time
to come
for time
to come
spheres
splintered
beloved
burning
understood utterly
this
that
what
when
beloved
birds
break
beautiful things
with beaks
worlds pass
away
stone to stone
enter
mist
come out
cast out
fire
beloved
you are weary
hear howls
coming from clouds
time to come
time to come
time
tears torso
beast
depth
to
depth
breath branch
& forest
beloved
cruel
concise
birds fly
over fields
of flesh
turning wing
towards
totem
sound
deliberate
divine
matter
bell
birds
bring
slivers
splinter
particles
dance
as door
to extinction
delivered
