As soon as I open my eyes towards morning
As soon as I open my eyes towards morning
I shall open the balcony doors, then
Into the room will come voice and pavement
In its very own image.
I know it’s only existence. In the tap
There’s almost no water, but
Morning will come, which you drank,
Which can be drunk like water.
Morning will bring itself to the window,
Morning is a dream in reality:
The fountain, the street, avenue and square
Cautiously
Are touched by it every day at the appointed time.
It will flicker its eyes for a moment,
And that moment something
Dyes everything in its own colours.
