***** poetry *****




(You have tattooed the dawn with a wingstroke and the sorrow with the gazelles' hazy shadows and stepped into the darkness)


with a melancholy melody
incense

and
her transparent presence
I open this night
and slip in the poetry's enchanted garden
crossing the ash_arch

and
lying down in the first shadow
who has taken away the hand of my wound
which happiness has flowed

I who was lost among the surfaces
among
the blood and the shadows
among
the horses' extreme meaning

and
the gazelle which fell asleep in my night
all this blue night is mine
all this hazy sorrow is mine

and
all this cold fire which the body drips is mine
we enter together in this night
we go for the last or first time
we go as we are
a burning tree

and
an ash_bird
