this night - for you
and in the fuzzy cut-open
melon of night
its insides sweet and juicy
if my body does not shine
the star--paved road in vain
meanders across the irrelevant sky
and in vain the curved moon
looks deep into the earth
if my mouth does not mean light
then you will live all your days
with closed eyes
