What will the place be like when no one passes by? – asks the poet. Could it be that “Are there things unseen?” And can the world, the big world, as he wrote, exist “only through the gaze that creates and gives it spatiality?” The poet seems to want to tell us that “What we see is worth – lives – only because of what looks at us”,1 that seeing is experiencing being seen, that being seen is existing, and even though there is a “split that separates within us the that we see from what looks at us”,2 things, events only exist to the extent of our presence, our visual power, our body that takes up and embodies space, time and generates existence and resistance, presence and absence , the before and after, the loss and the insistence.
