The same phrases and poems return in variants, and the poet is said to be writing one endless poem across his books. The repetitions do not make the message clearer; they darken it, as if he doubted every line and kept looking for a better word. Language, he writes, is clay worn out by breath, a piece of wood to lean on along the way. The dead in these poems leave as if death were small change received for a ticket, and he hesitates whether to buy a newspaper with it or give it to a beggar.
