Vacuum

Vacuum

(Ascription to Franz Kafka)

When yours and mine galaxies were in collision

A new world was formed

The world where men become gods

And God was evaporated

The Earth was sentenced to revolve—

Without a Sun

Darkness has usurped darkness

A game of hide-and-seek, between

Dark Mater and Dark Energy

Revolutionaries have hanged themselves in despair

When the Time was nor good nor worse

Clouds have formed craters

Where once their tombs were

And a black chrysanthemum has blossomed in the spring

My violin was lost on the shore of Dead Sea

My tears were wiped by your fingers

The acute passiveness of your silent words

And the Vita Nova in your hand

Have all paralyzed my body

The flood is still inside

And so is the feeling that

My wild spirit wants to escape to oblivion

O Kafka! Be my guide

Like Virgil was to Dante
