Tick

The black point with the reddish halo
the tick of the watch in my own flesh

I caught the watch or the watch caught me
in the forest
where are the trails of the boar
and the droppings of the elk
under the fir
by the boulder
from the ice-age

I caught it
it caught me
as in the primordial ocean
the black point
with its 6 legs
which infects with the time
the tick
who sticks in the skin

so it was before the world
the black point
more black then the emptiness
and the reddish halo
which infects nothing
with existence

by the tick
the brain-inflammation
but the inflammation
makes the brain
and with it Helen of Troy
Parthenon
Notre Dame
and Grail

up to the end
the Universe
the inflammation
of Nothing

Your Time and nothing closes the triad: Seyn und Zeit and L'etre et neant.

It seems to me you also create - earlier, simultaneously or even without your special effort - German versions of the same rhymes...

Danke. Die Zeit ist mein Hauptgedanke.

The time is timid as the poetry itself, timid but audacions.

I suppose each word in your mind is surrounded by a cloud of consonant words and unused possibilities...
