Nanne Nyander - Poems and Paintings
What’s real?
Sensations are real,
there are sensations, aren’t there?
Is feeling the sensations separate from the sensations,
or are there just words separating the two?
Without the words, are they one?
Are sounds and hearing the sounds the same?
Nothing is really separating the two.
But nothing can’t separate,
nothing glues it all together,
nothing makes it all one.
Is it language that’s separating everything
into tiny pieces?
Are there any borders between anything?
The me can separate everything into smaller and
smaller pieces,
if the me moves in the other direction,
and pieces it all together again,
will the me suddenly disappear,
disappear into the whole,
into nothing?
