you come
the day is rising
the world is symmetrical

the heart becomes lighter
the sky is breathing
memory is fertile

the hour is faded
the die is launched
hazard is flimsy

for my father

wood and meadow
was your books

also on the dresser
the big dictionary

to name exactly
each thing

that mattered you
you well upright
on your two legs

heartily in communion
the church sundays

I remember

a remote beach
the corns, the crested lapwings
my mother’s smile
only lies

Esther Tellermann (1947 – )

Listen
each one cultivates the root
implored in the veil or
held up in the blasphemy
the unsolved stone.
It is the blue
the sifted places
steel under the eyelids
