An Autobiography


I’m a woman living in a port town
whose drowsy name I hardly ever
utter; I spend my days revising
last night’s dreams, rewriting
long -forsaken
tales. This has
no end.
No,
I haven’t seen
the sea
for quite a while. But I do
have a boat. I keep it
in my house’s backyard along with other items
to consider
next. I collect things
for later use (like
light, rain, cats
in dunkelblau). Opposite my room there is

a warehouse made of blank
pages, I write on its walls
in my spare
time

A Woman In a Light Grey Hoodie Saying "Oxford 84", a White T-shirt Underneath and Light Blue Jeans

I'm curious of
you

though it's not
springtime and we're not
at a university campus

I'm eager to start
the new semester
right away

I shall study
and revise

your idiosyncracies one
at a time

there's no hurry
to graduate, the pleasure's

in the process
of gathering
the knowledge

you are

such a perfect
subject
