I give myself up to the violet flame:
it will renew the strength within me.
I send only angels …
To you that hurt me
working together
with conscious effort;
And to you who know no better,
you vampires and leeches,
and thieves of dreams;
And to you, dear friend,
because you are here
only when I am bad;
does the bright light of perfect insight threaten you?
The light that is always absent within you?
You, cold as a surgeon’s steel,
removed and incomprehensible;
And to all, because you, with
your razor tongues, cut out my soul;
and to those who think they know me …
to ex-lovers because you weren’t the only one,
to my mother eager to control an inaccessible father,
to all of you that made me cry;
And especially to you,
those sharks alike,
excuses for people,
because you wanted
to drag me into your abyss,
always enraged by the blood-smell of
the one who tries;
And to you, whose every step to the place
where nothing is hidden,
who swim like salmon struggling upstream to their destination:
And to all of you,
of Cosmology,
the Universe of stars
that are only a part of you,
Milky way, muscle inflammation,
black hole vacuum around the heart.
Thank you!
