Blind Fishermen

Early morning. Fresh air, dark clouds, robin-song. And I ask myself — In this paradise, if I am not ready to die, have I ever really lived?

Blind Fishermen

It’s been so long — I think of writing you today.

Do you think of writing me? — And do you wonder what to say?

So many letters set out this way — Like little rafts at sea —

And we — Blind fishermen — Should Odysseus pass this way —

Would he know us by our hunger — Or our bravery?
