Preludes

I.

I shy from something that comes scraping crossways through the

blizzard.

Fragment out of what is to come.

A wall gotten loose. Something eyeless. Hard.

A face of teeth!

A wall, alone. Or is a house there,

even though I can’t see it?

The future … an army of empty houses

feeling their way forward in the falling snow.

II.

Two truths approach each other. One comes from inside, the

other from outside,

and where they meet we have a chance to catch sight of ourselves.

The man who sees what’s about to take place cries out wildly: “Stop!

Anything, if only I don’t have to know myself.”

And a boat exists that wants to tie up on shore—it’s trying right

here—

in fact it will try thousands of times yet.

Out of the darkness of the woods a long boathook appears, pokes

in through the open window,

in among the guests who are getting warm dancing.
