This poem by Michael Fehr, designed by Niklas Herrmann, can be found at Stratford Centre, 54a Broadway, Stratford, London E15 1NG and Central Park Café, Bartle Avenue, East Ham, London E6 3AJ
the body is a figure in the game between wind and grav
ity and when it fades only strength remains but without
fuss and without weight
silence and strength are not contradictory
and when i stay you have no idea who i am and when i
go you won’t remember even though roses bloom
