\nthe poem I strife after,
\nis the poem one can read aloud without being heard by anyone.
\nIt is that impossibility that always begins,
\nit is with that illusion
\nthat I write and erase.)<\/p>\n

\nIn the pond
\nthe stars speak out<\/span><\/p>\n
\nsends up
\nits earthy incense
\nthe word
\nlistening to the night
\nand all names
\nall
\nin one late bird<\/p>\n
\nof the empty house
\nnot that they might open,
\nthat I hear myself calling<\/p>\n
\nas if not moving
\nso that the blood not overflow the mouth
\nquiet,
\nas if sensing a bird
\nwounded
\nin the palm of the hand
\nwithout closing the hand
\nwithout opening the eyes
\nthere is a faith that is absolute:
\na faith without hope.<\/span><\/p>\n
