What will change?
What is changing?
It seems like I come back to the same day,
streched out,
fading slightly,
even becoming a little dry...
and I come back,
just like the others do.

We pass through these structures and stabilities,
following our memories ahead of us like a book
already written, anonymously,
each line the type growing smaller in towards the binding -
the paths...
and it will never close or be rewritten.
It cannot be reread.

The sun is shining here
and it's as if I don't know where to go
or where it is I belong.
I sit like a child and see for myself
how everything has chosen to move -
the trees, slowly;
my house, and my neighbor's house;
these clouds from this wind...
There are some things which seem to stay for me -
a smell I can find in a book on Modigliani;
the back-of-the-backyard,
and garage...
Even the air itself has kept itself
for me when I return here,
passing through as I do now...
so briefly, carried away by life.

There will be a time here,
at this house,
when no one will come to greet me
upon my arrival and continuing motion -
when I will be left standing alone
long after what I have written here,
filled with love and memory,
transported helplessly forward in a permanent way
as I choose to come back,
just like the others do.
