the beginning of daydreams and memories

Tired and useless 

amongst any company, 

at the end, 

at an end is 

the beginning of 

daydreams and memories, 

everything at an end 

such that anything 

which should not be is 

at an end. 

 

[Ingeborg Bachmann {1926-1973}, '[Tired and Useless]', from Darkness Spoken: The Collected Poems]
