I
Don’t you see?
I have nothing left;
I have no home.
I don’t mean that,
not always, 
not only, 
nor more.

Don’t mention it.

II
If, whether, suppose.
If you like.
If you only knew!
If nothing else,
if anything,
even if.

Otherwise, if not.
At least.

III
He was beside himself.
He did it by himself.
He shifted for himself.
He’s talking to himself.
He put it in his pocket.
He’s laughing at it.
He went off.

IV
Between, among, amongst.
Between ourselves, amongst friends.
To myself.
All things considered.

V
Things, goods, wares, clothes.
What a lot of stuff!
To speak badly of someone.
Food, victuals.
That’s a fine state of affairs!
That’s a fine thing, indeed!

A heap of stuff!
It isn’t your stuff,
other people’s property.
Rubbish, trash.

VI
Demure person,
to look as though butter
would melt in one’s mouth.
To have a slight love affair,
to fall in love a little,
to retire into the shell,
to grow fat,
to grow stiff,
jamming one’s hat over one’s eyes,
to swallow.

VII
To stop, to plug, to cork,
to bung, to stuff up.
To stop someone’s mouth.
To stop up a hole.
To stop a tooth.
To be stopped,
to become obstructed.
To stop one’s ears,
to hold one’s nose.

Your family, my people.
To thunder, to roar.

VIII
To settle on and work a farm.
To train vines on poplars.
To give something not wanted
or of little value.

To clap one’s hands.
To hang oneself
at the foot of the bed.
At the foot of the page
to hang on.

IX
To have one’s labor in vain.
To pay a debt.
Airpocket.
Burnt matter.
To burn oneself,
continual shivering.
To swam with people,
Courage!
Proof against anything,
bomb-proof.

X
The corner of a handkerchief,
cirriform of clouds.
Hither, on this side,
to speak in a low voice,
a barmaid, a stutterer,
to stagger, continuous staggering,
I regret very much to inform you.
To treat gently.
To shrivel unsown.
