of infatuation, of kisses;
But the people soon became quiet,
the mothers were already nursing.
The drum of youth was laid

In a trance,
Wild and blind, I roam and dance,
One street…

The king rises at night—
Alone, without guard or escort,
Makes his way to the ancient wall
Climbing to the top of the highest tower.

His body lodged a rat where men nursed souls.
The world flashed grape-green eyes of a foiled cat
To him…

Day unto day bequeaths its fading sun,
and night after night laments for night.
Summer after summer is gathered in fall
and the world in its sorrow gives song.

Oh white spirit—
My princess!
The spring rips,
Tears at your dress.
The air is full of spring’s fame
Crowned with florets
Carrying its perfume
Spring’s fresh scents.
Bringing your death,
My white…

A wall.
A blunt wall of human backs, arms, legs.
A gray bulwark with white round stains.
A defeated army in a cave, before maneuvers,
Waiting for doors to open.
