I will show you a way
that I have travelled.
If you come
If you come back some day
searching for me
do you see how everything shifts
a little every moment
and becomes less pretentious
and more primitive
(like pictures drawn by children
or early forms of life:
the soul's alphabet)
you will come to a warm region
it is soft and hazy
but then I will no longer be me,
but the forest.
