Kafka’s Forbidden Poems II

Infinite details
will be unveiled in different eyes
as they behold our horizon:
and you,
what did you feel
when you looked past them?

We are the missing line
that the sea keeps revealing:
Within it, silence fits
and breeze as well;
in the sea,
every memory
and every context;
and time [fits] in what reveals them.

Cold is a sea
that waves from dreams
and sharply breaks reality.
Keen [/Sharp-eyed],
the warmth is you,
who wakes everything,
day by day.
