We know the here and now
The hereafter inside us
In front of the mirror the surface of the face
We hide from the mind
Here in the there being
Eager to paradise
Then: when we have gone –
nobody will miss us later
Death accompanies us on silent toes
To vanish into nothing again
To melt away in it all eternal night
Concerned you were trying
Getting acquainted with our little me
But around our lips is a you
The word soon fading away
The fear of being a stranger
That monitors our senses
amazed that
Your eye seeks and watches in me
The near autumn
The winters in me not tired
