More Celan lines to bring you to your knees:


I am the first to drink of the blue that still looks for its eye.
I drink from your footprint and see:
You roll through my fingers, pearl, and you grow!
You roll: the black hailstone of sadness
Is caught by a kerchief turned white with waving goodbye.

**

Make me bitter.
Count me among the amonds.

**

and carry the thing that’s uncertain
and carry the green thing into your Ever.

**

Set your flag at half-mast,
memory.

**

Speak—
But keep yes and no unsplit.

**

In the wind-shadow, thousandfold, you.
You and the arm
with which naked I grew towards you,
lost one.

The beams. They blow us together.
We bear the brightness, the pain and the name.

**

We
don’t know, you know,
we
don’t know, do we?,
what
counts.


**

and at times when
only the void stood between us we got
all the way to each other.
