A POEM TOSSED INTO THE TRASH BIN OF A PUBLIC GARDEN BY ZACHARIAS LICHTER AND RETRIEVED BY HIS BIOGRAPHER

How distant is nearness

how distinct darkness

how simple is intricacy

how intricate simplicity

divinely large the small

divinely meek the grand

divinely clear the vague as well

and sharp as ice the disgust

and luminously great the thirst

by thirst itself pervaded

and darkly vast the tidings

the old word-rag in the mouth

the word that tells nothing

a world submerged in fog

that the tongue thrusts through

how it tastes of fog in silence

how distant is nearness
