Home of the Shape
We will go far away
To nowhere
To conquer
To fertilize
Until we become tired
Then we will stop
And there will be our home
Anti-Shape
The shape looks for its opposite
But the opposite hides
The shape feels it
But doesn’t see it
The opposite is its mother
That’s why she hides her face
Almighty Shape
One hand I extend into myself
The other toward others
Both are the extended
Hands of the Almighty Shape
My secret is simple
All secrets are simple
The Shape and a Smile
I recreate myself
That is my only power
In search of a smile—
A smile is light
I enjoy it when the world smiles
The more smiles, the warmer I am
I smile
Because others are cold too
The Shape and Warmth
Insufficient to himself only
By himself he warms others up
Searching for a smile
He avoids the spent shapes
The Shape’s Speech
Until the end of his journey
Movement will be his story
One of the stories is the light
Passing from story to story
He stops only
When he gets tired of them all
Father and Son
You ask how it is possible
To be your own father and son
You should seek answers
Although it is better to anticipate some
To be the light and dream
The Cloud and the Shape
The cloud is the first shape
He expands and compresses at the same time
He retorts his desire into the multitude
Smiling as he swallows himself up
HAPPINESS OF ATOMS
The Shape and Society
You are so alone
Large shapes endure in the distance
The crowd destroys them
And this that you call solitude
Is in fact a big crowd
The Big and the Small Shape
From the same place we come
But you don’t remember that
Still, you carry a part of my grandeur;
Without you, I am nothing
Happiness of Atoms
I am a shining shape
A big Atom and the small Sun
I love movement
Uncatchable
Sometimes you see me
But don’t recognize from the inside
I’m neither enigmatic
Nor discontented
You would say that I am happy
Shape’s Weakness
You are made from me
I’m saddened by your sadness
Powerless to do anything
Through your weakness, weaker I become
The Life of the Shape
In some shapes I am alive
In some—dead
I am the shape who creates shapes
Creating means living
Glow
Sullen
You don’t rejoice in my glow
If you would just understand my glow
You would start glowing too
Deafness
I like to talk
To your deafness
I ask the silence: why?
My clarity is obscure
I remind you, spoil you
In deafness
I admonish you, punish you
With this weak voice of mine
Imitation
You anticipate my unmistakable laws
But overlook them
Instead of imitating me
You simply loiter
Citizens of the City of Light
I am the shore and the ocean
Awaiting myself on both sides
I travel
Always arriving in the same place
Imaginative
I always find the best way
Happy while traveling
I watch the light
Multitudes of homes-citizens
Inhabit the city through which I swim
Return from the Dream
What kind of a dream was it
And what kind of return?
The dream was not ugly
That’s why I stay mute
Words won’t describe what I saw
Only through silence can I express it
If I would really start talking
You would become silent
Mathematics
My mathematics is simple
One plus one = one
Your problem is in that
You like to add
With me: one minus one = one
With you: it’s zero
Here lies the only difference
I and I
I don’t know if you are me
Or I am neither I nor you
I lose faith in mathematics
Logical and rigid
What with those
That even zero doesn’t accept
Mathematics doesn’t care
About those beyond the numbers
Motion
Through everything I have passed
But nowhere I have been
In the biggest and the smallest I sleep
But at the same place I stay
Wherever I go
I run into myself
