Where is happiness when it rains outside
and the light falls like sadness beyond parting
Do you then speak of a face that yields to the weight
of the grey air that sighs with reason
or of being carried away by the fate?
Could it be that it is just this moment that is cut off
and added to all that perishes anyway
and that you are only dwelling on the past
and the new tomorrow already feels like a timeless abandonment?
Yet I go on. I take a one-way trip
into a silent city or a charred forest
stripped of the Christianised kyrieleis
In dying to life we get rid of everything.
waiting can perhaps be soothing or can lead to insight.
one can even, slowly or suddenly, become entangled in the now.
Often then other thoughts come, slowly tearing down walls.
but for the moment it floats in unattainable thin air.

Where happiness dwells as winter reigns.
