DOSTOEVSKI SAID MAN

DOSTOEVSKI SAID MAN

1.
Dostoevski said man
is unhappy because he doesn't know

he is happy. What I am is
so real it dies on my tongue.

2.
If I loved you I
would say no if you loved

me you would not let me
say it.

3.
Everything you say is cruel
and bitter glory in my mouth.

4.
There is no disease for this cure,
I tell you what is

on my lips and what I know
it is too soon to know but

something is
falling from me like rain in sunlight.

- Peter Klappert
