Why am I giving everything away?
\nHere,
\ntake a piece of my hair.
\nYou want an organ?
\nI have a kidney to donate.
\nTime?
\nHow much?
\nWhat will you do with it?
\nBut I\u2019ll share my time with you,
\nalthough it is so much a part of me,
\nyou have to take me along.
\nMoney?
\nYes.
\nIt is a weight to me anymore.
\nEnough\u2019s enough.
\nThe rest you can have.
\nMy collections?
\nFlowers, coins, a few books,
\ntake with you.
\nIt is autumn.
\nThey are being covered with leaves.
\nSoon I won\u2019t be able to find them,
\nso everything to the curb,
\ntake with you.<\/p>\n
I want only emptiness
\nwhere they were.
\nDo not think however
\nI am without desire.
\nThat I do not need something
\nin their place.
\nI want the wealth of a happy heart
\nfor each of my children,
\nand my grandchildren.
\nI want the earth to be left alone.
\nA sabbatical from plunder and pillage.
\nI want forever to remain a day,
\nand allow children to play in its yards.
\nAnd a moment for myself,
\nto love everyone I love,
\nso completely,
\nI can pass away
\nand have no regrets,
\nor leave any tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
