Counting with stones and marks
The arc of the sun: counted
with marks and stones
showing the shadow
of the days, the differences
in the journey of its light
and the rhythm of the rain
from standstill to standstill
You can measure time
in half years
and see it at intervals
of a few weeks, but
without stones and marks
you will not notice
that you cross a boundary of time
like sailing between the Diomedes
the counting does not match
reality any longer
Calendars are fiction
years too, they have no boundary
no days before and after
that are different
each day is new
and unique as a number
in a series without end
that's how life goes
the life all of us live
as if there is no end
