in a world of sheer joy
I met her, smiling,
and she said: what love has been
listen to it in the trees
and I nodded and for a long time we strolled
in the silent garden.

the world was sheer waves
and I sank into her as a corpse
downwards the water closed
over my head and for a moment
I felt a fish brushing past me
in the silent sea.

bye I said to her bye will
I meet you again one day, smiling
but the wind blew away
her face into the water
and I nodded and became invisible
in the silent life.
