Allotropy
Who's coming in
It's me pull yourself together
if you want me to put you together
The closet is full of linens
There are even moonbeams that
I can unfold
You've changed
Here's the proof that you have
changed
The gifts they give the newborns
in their cribs
Are almost the same arrow shows
the direction yo're coming from
Where you're going
Your heart is on the path of
that arrow
Your eyes which will again
shine bright cloud over the mist of things
Your hands grope along a road
for the dark needle that can prevent a catastrophe
You see the woman you have
loved
Without them seeing you you
see them without them seeing you
The black wolves in turn pass
behind you
Who are you
Shadow of an evildoer on the
high walls
Shawdow of a signalman stretching
farther than the signal
I am the primary innocent party
My head rolls from on high
where my steps will never fail
What makeup
No one will recognise me
Later between the stones in
a heap
The window is wide open
On that magnificent heap
Bend forward
Bend forward to change again
It is indeed you who dend and
change
That photgraph you forgot to
have
toned
Is so like you
[1926]
