गते गते पारगते पारसंगते बोधि स्वाहा


In Tübingen


In Tübingen, on eiderdown,
Hölderlin and Hegel entangle
their toes. What the poet told him:

It is finished, it is finished—
difference is a swallowing
and a bellyful and vomit.

Then, a final blush before
they peel away and return
to their theology.
