“ Do you remember still
the falling stars
that like swift horses through the heavens raced
and suddenly leaped across the hurdles
of our wishes - do you recall?”

“…
Stop reading - look!
Stop looking - go!
Go, your hour
has no sisters, you are -
Are at home. A wheel, slowly,
rolls out of itself, the spokes
climb… “

✍️Paul Celan, Stretto
🖼️ René Magritte, Zenon’s Arrow
