Last Will
& since I’m leaving &
if something happens, I bequeath
to my children …
I don’t know what I’d like to leave behind.
I don’t know what I could.
I don’t know what remains
save this mouldy house.
(– A breakdown of thoughts? A pile of books
nobody reads?
What will remain after a thousand years’
of all our endeavours?
Enthusiasm, our building of cultures? –)
I don’t know what I’d like to leave behind.
I don’t know what I could.
I don’t know what remains.
I’d like to believe in lies,
yours & mine too.
No one shall be redeemed
by his deeds.
