poem 06.02 2020 (apophatic croissant?)



not
outside
the hair

on
the plate

where
the croissant
was

not
outside
the croissant
that was

or
its
past
or
present

or
the crumbs

left
behind

or

not
not
in
the hair

on
the plate

where
the croissant
was

not
not
in
the croissant
that was

or
its
past
or
present

or
the crumbs

left
behind

                  between the trees
                  around
                  the water
                  pumping
                  house

                 are snowdrops
                 and eranthis
                 unaware
                 of calendar
                 winter

                 and
                 you
                 don’t
                 go
                 anywhere

                 but
                 keep

                 rubbing
                 peppermint
                 oil

                 on
                 your
                 aching
                 neck
                
                 (worn discs)

                 and
                 listen
                 to
                 Bach’s
                 works
                 for
                 flute

not
outside
the hair

on
the plate

where
the croissant
was

not
outside
the croissant
that was

or
the crumbs

left
behind

or

not
not
in
the hair

on
the plate

where
the croissant
was

not
not
in
the croissant
that was

or
the crumbs

left
behind

                    mellem træerne
                    omkring
                    pumpestationen

                    er vintergækker
                    og erantis
                    uvidende
                    om
                    kalendervinteren

                    og
                    du
                    går
                    ingen
                    steder

                    men
                    bliver
                    ved

                    med
                    at
                    smøre
                    pebermynteolie

                    på
                   din
                   smertende
                   nakke

                  (slidte hvirvler)

                   og
                   lytte
                   til
                  Bachs
                  værker
                  for
                  fløjte
