Horizon, Zenith and Atmosphere (Paul Klee), Sonnet #622




















I see that cold red dot

At the center of all,

As I stand, myself a spot

Not round, not flat, not tall,

No more than open eyes —

No zenith on horizons,

Just air as thick as sighs

Repeat seeking orisons.

The red dot draws on will

Until I disappear

With nothing to fulfill,

Nothing to find or fear.

At the center of pressure

I can’t take its measure.
