Kafka on the shore poem:

Paint me, for I am on the shore,
observing the wretched rigid tides,
stirring the endless, timeless grain;
hanging and stirring memories,
hanging and stirring
hanging and stirring

Sketch me, as my cursed silhouette follows
that timid wretched world;
breaking-
breaking upon the perceivable,
outlining the inevitable,
remembering the loveable.

Follow me, for I am on the shore,
staring into a glassy sandstorm, forging another world;
this world follows cold tragedy,
narrated by a feigned chorus capable of destroying the abstract,
the lost abstract half, scattered within a maze of hollow time.

Paint me, for I am on the shore,
listening to the humming wind.
breathing and drowning within another world.

Now, hang me;
above the hollow desk
soaked within resolved memories.
Now, hang me in between the dark window bleeding into the clusters of a surreal reality.
