This is the ground on which I stand,

the matter I know well:

the circle as the point of departure

after which the square.

From it follows the triangle;

the rectangle is its stop.

last is the trapezoid

and the paralellogram.
o

It is the motion of the light

seen and recorded.

Thus the shapes are formed,

time aids and cuts them sharp.
o

I say the shapes now

I count them one by one:
o

circle

square

triangle

rectangle

trapezium

paralellogram.
o

They are displayed, the line is long:

it stretches itself before my feet

and is flipped above me too.
o

Those are the elements that will soon,

a second time,

be lit up by the light.
