Eleven Lines at the End of the World
for Silke

The world inside of me is very small
A pulsing consciousness of inner space
Some tissue and some water that is all
Kept animated breathed alive by grace
All of the world I know or ever knew

The only one who knows this world is you
You are the one I love and want and need
You are my little candle in the night
The hope the dream the promise and the seed
At the end of the world the only light

But it is dark inside of me tonight
