You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
“they called me the hyacinth girl”
--yet when we came back, late, from the hyacinth garden,
your arms full, and your hair wet, i could not
speak and my eyes failed, i was neither
living nor dead, and i knew nothing,
looking into the heart of light, the silence.
oed’und leer das meer.
