and if you see me

I am not me

Forget it

Or time shall be greater

than the sum of our days.

for the dying

Dead is the desire

I am dying

to die again.

4. “Por tou jours”, seashell

The voice of God is the sea

the sea in the seashell

the seashell in my hatred

pours out of my lips

in our solitudes

like an overshadow in another overshadow

Nor the dreamer or dreamed

know who’s the dream:

so real is the dreaming

and the dreamer so fast

Let’s not let go of our hands

if not to run through our infancy

until the last day of the infancy

that was our first

and so wildly the river scans

that I see because I can’t see

the touched now

the golden now

I learned

now

12. Traveller

Wait for me: I come and go

(letter by letter on the path

lavish your name

so as not to mislead the return)
