Poetry

In ultima linea

To give up something means
to come closer to the genuine
word; to know what you could have existed
without, perhaps even earlier.

To give up somebody:
to give up means
ultimately
to hide the fact
that love no longer is
absolute
is not what it was
not even a past
but
how can one give up the word
- the freedom, how can one share the indivisible

the essence giving meaning to life
not life itself!
