To Know It (poem)
To Know It
Do you want to know It?
to taste it on your tongue?
Do you want to know It?
to taste it on your tongue?
Cast away your coins and treasures,
hurl them into the sea.
Be devoured by
that which is not,
candle's extinguished flame,
let the breath
of last night's wind
stroke your cheek alive.
Be devoured by
that which is not,
candle's extinguished flame,
let the breath
of last night's wind
stroke your cheek alive.
Listen to what
is never spoken,
can't be held or heard.
