THE WAY BACK

Michael March

If we define Europe as
"the landmass behind Greece"
- we see what we already know -
everything can be destroyed -
except myth.

Michael March, President of Prague Writers' Festival

How ever
to replace
thee
sooner
a voice
about
the eyes
How ever
to replace
thee
a witness
sooner
gone


"I desired
my dust
mingled
with yours"
beyond
delicacies
of speech
You had
gone away
I could not
return

Milena Findeis, Michael March – Hotel Josef, 2006

"One day, in the compartment of some train, as
I was looking at the passenger sitting across
from me, I was suddenly struck by the realization
that any man in worth any other. Behind
what was visible of this man - I discovered /
a kind of identity common to all men."
