giving

poem by: MadDedadalo Ehmmelilly
Written on Jun 27, 2019

he wanted to give as much as he received

in equal measure as he received all that is

and all was what he wanted to give to it_

all from the flower and from the bee

from the light and the green shade

from her arms and their joined hands_

but he could not give to what was already there;

it was superflous and redundant

repetitions emptied of feelings;

so there was to give something that was his only

something in which he could be found and received_

but he had nothing of such kind

for all that he was was only in all that he received

and it is with it all that he is anything of himself

not to be divisible to be looked at in a gift,

a he suspended for when he finds too late

how he missed to make himself to be received.
