Restricted vows
Unfilled spirit to reality to dream
To sleepless and picture close to the heart.
Your warm lights
Like sharpest knife almost cut the promises off
And buried six feet under.
Walk in the safe way
O, dear Glowing Temptation
Hear safe sound
Avoid all sleepy noises
And poisonous singing snakes.
I am your guidance
Not guardian
So keep doubt me.
Blink of an eye
Has changed me the immortality
To liquid body.
You are temptation
Not affection
So keep doubt me.
Farewell, farewell
O, dear Glowing Temptation
Heat of summer burning me still
And you glowing for eternity
For me and the world in unity.
(Et ego petrarca in lingua vetera scribo – Selected Poems 1998 – 2001)
