The Park (1999)
XXII.
It’s like a day and night –
one can’t define a border either in the sunset or within the sunrise
delimiting a fallen night from day gone by,
while light gradates towards a lesser light –
there isn’t any borderline between the world and me.
As I am more than all the senses I possess,
the world is something more than all its matter
and there around the subtle middle point where all of them converge
the world begins in me and I begin within the world.
But what is inside me and outside me?
But what for fear, and all the inexplicable anxieties,
the iceberg dreams: why, are they truly inside me,
and then the sun with its conspicuous warmth
and stones with finite number of their forms:
why, are they truly outside me, or
perhaps the wine with its distinct
capacities is also outside me.
Outside is in me but then in me is outside.
I leave my body through its nine departure points
into the realm of dreams and reverie,
into the open space of words
and go amongst my bees
and my own stars.
