I regret that I’m not a
beast,
running along a blue path,
telling myself to believe,
and my other self to wait a
little,
I’ll go out with myself to
the forest
to examine the insignificant
leaves.
I regret that I’m not a star,
running along the vaults of
the sky,
in search of the perfect nest
it finds itself and earth’s
empty water,
no one has ever heard of a
star giving out a squeak,
its purpose is to encourage
the fish with its silence.
And then there’s this grudge
that I bear,
that I’m not a rug, nor a
hydrangea.
I regret I’m not a roof,
falling apart little by
little,
which the rain soaks and
softens,
whose death is not sudden.
I don’t like the fact that
I’m mortal,
I regret that I am not
perfect.
Much much better, believe me,
is a particle of day a unit
of night.
I regret that I’m not an
eagle,
flying over peak after peak,
to whom comes to mind
a man observing the acres.
I regret I am not an eagle,
flying over lengthy peaks,
to whom comes to mind
a man observing the acres.
You and I, wind, will sit
down together
on this pebble of death.
It’s a pity I’m not a grail
I don’t like that I am not
pity.
I regret not being a grove,
which arms itself with
leaves.
I find it hard to be with
minutes,
they have completely confused
me.
It really upsets me terribly
that I can be seen in
reality.
And then there’s this grudge
that I bear,
that I’m not a rug, nor a
hydrangea.
What scares me is that I move
not the way that do bugs that
are beetles,
or butterflies and
babystrollers
and not the way that do bugs
that are spiders.
What scares me is that I move
very unlike a worm,
a worm burrows holes in the
earth
making small talk with her.
Earth, where are things with
you,
says the cold worm to the
earth,
and the earth, governing
those that have passed,
perhaps keeps silent in
reply,
it knows that it’s all wrong.
I find it hard to be with minutes,
they have completely confused
me.
I’m frightened that I’m not
the grass that is grass,
I’m frightened that I’m not a
candle.
I’m frightened that I’m not
the candle that is grass,
to this I have answered,
and the trees sway back and
forth in an instant.
I’m frightened by the fact
that when my glance
falls upon two of the same
thing
I don’t notice that they are
different,
that each lives only once.
I’m frightened by the fact
that when my glance
falls upon two of the same
thing
I don’t see how hard they are
trying
to resemble each other.
I see the world askew
and hear the whispers of
muffled lyres,
and having by their tips the
letters grasped
I lift up the word wardrobe,
and now I put it in its
place,
it is the thick dough of
substance.
I don’t like the fact that
I’m mortal,
I regret that I am not
perfect,
much much better, believe me,
is a particle of day a unit
of night.
And then there’s this grudge
that I bear
that I’m not a rug, nor a
hydrangea.
I’ll go out with myself to
the woods
for the examination of
insignificant leaves,
I regret that upon these
leaves
I will not see the
imperceptible words,
which are called accident,
which are called immortality,
which are called a kind of
roots.
I regret that I’m not an
eagle
flying over peak after peak,
to whom came to mind
a man observing the acres.
I’m frightened by the fact
that everything becomes dilapidated,
and in comparison I’m not a
rarity.
You and I, wind, will sit
down together
on this pebble of death.
Like a candle the grass grows
up all around,
and the trees sway back and
forth in an instant.
I regret that I am not a
seed,
I am frightened I’m not
fertility.
The worm crawls along behind
us all,
he carries monotony with him.
I’m scared to be an
uncertainty,
I regret that I am not fire.
