Eva Gerlach, 'World I'm talking her into...'

World I'm talking her into, certainties
firmer and more numerous than I possess.
She points and my tongue, wagging, is running from this
to that, to, and fro: nothing, everything I know,
I lay down near her without hesitation.
Colourless deposit, naked thought-thing,
impossible palisade, that I furnish
to serve her, with a gleam of reason.
- Eva Gerlach, from: Daughter (1984)
