Poem from Klaus Høeck's collection Palimpsest

 
THE RIBBON OF EXTREMES
(1932)

throughout my entire
production runs a ribbon
of incomprehen

sibility (like
a milky way) a ribbon
of paradoxes

a thin möbius
strip that binds words and senten
ces and images

together into
the whole that makes the poems
understandable


The title refers to a painting by Yves Tanguy. To see the painting, go to here
