Flower, Paul Celan

Stone.
Stone in the air, which I track.
Your eye, blind as a rock.

How were there
hands
,
we dipped the darkness empty, we found
the word that summer tended:
Flower.

Flower
word of the blind.
Your eye and my eye:
They take care
to water.

Burgeoning.
Wall upon wall
leafs around the heart.

Another word like that, and
hammers swing away.
