― , Within the event horizon: poetry prose
42 " I have to write.I have to write and re-write myself in all that's hidden within me.The unspoken heart is the place I need to travel to,to rediscover the language that I had lost.I felt and hoped myself empty in dreams that never belonged to me.So how can I be with myself?My heart struggled itself out of my body, lying shattered in pieces all over the places I've never been to and won't ever be, while my head is the only thing remaining, dethinking itself in all that hadn't been and won't ever be. "

49 " the last words have been spokenhanging over my head – the sword of Damoclessince the beginning of timeI will keep on weepingover thoughts and over youwandering about all of my roomsyour absence is all around meand the silence is more frighteningthen any sound has been beforetoo much is truth in those words:that wonders are falsehoodand the days are gone, never to return "
50 " I swam in the open seasand a faceless man counted the timethat nevermore belongs to me.Do you feel the same?Do you dream of a timethat bears another name?You drew me in your own imageand I wrote your name all over my heart –fiery lights are all I see behind my eyes. "

53 " When I think back to the first time we met, it feels like a dream," you said, only a few days later.And thus you voiced what came true only a few months later.It had been a dream.[...]"Even then, you have sealed our preterite," I said."Why do you say something like this," you asked me."Because we never had the chance to share the present. "

56 " Every morning is a beginning,every evening a farewell.The everlasting resurgence lets me start anew –I will enshrine every tear, every smile.None of it I will let go or die.Never will I forget …My confessions have always beenwords full of deceit –a house built on sand.[…] I planted a flower in your garden.We enshrine an eternitynot to be found in any reality.You are the dome of my sky and my soil.In your shadow I can thrive –it gives the only lightthat lets me live.… I see your coming and going –but my heart leans on your resurgence.

Anything that you want.I want to be perceivable and … that you can perceive me.I want to be comprehensible, like a mathematical formula you can solve, even if I cannot solve myself.I long for you to solve me. I long for you to read me like an open book.Anything that you want.[…]I long for you to tell me the story of your whole life.I want you to show your innermost like an open book, so that I can read it.Anything that I want.I want to make you perceivable and … that I can perceive you.I want to make you comprehensible, like a mathematical formula I can solve, even if you cannot solve yourself.I long for us to be solvable. That we show each other our innermost, like an open book.Anything that we have ever wanted. "
