A Klaus Høeck poem from 'Hsieh'

 
         ‘from dust shalt thou once
         more arise’ – with my
         earth full of mouth – i
         mean my mouth full of
earth – ugh what a taste it has
of rust and iron compounds
         that scrunch between the
teeth – ‘from dust shalt thou once more
         arise’ – i write down
         here – how easy it
is to read how hard to be
         lieve and live (after)
