1:07:02
Wasn't it a precarious
peace that came over me...
1:07:06
to have my body stretched out
on a weed mattress?
1:07:11
Wasn't this different slumber
perhaps temporary?
1:07:15
To have my fingernails dirty,
my feet numbed.
1:07:21
Lice cutting trails
through my hair.
1:07:24
My armpits visited by ants?
1:07:30
Wasn't this second slumber
perhaps temporary?
1:07:36
To have my head
crowned with butterflies.
1:07:40
Fat larvae sprouting
from my bellybutton.
1:07:44
My cold forehead
covered by insects.
1:07:47
My limp mouth
kissing scarabs?
1:07:56
Such a sleepiness...
1:07:59
such a lethargy...
1:08:01
such a nightmare of
adolescence!
1:08:05
What kind of rock is that,
so heavy on my body?
1:08:11
There's a mysterious chill
in this fire.
1:08:17
Where will I be taken, someday?
1:08:21
A white board...
1:08:24
and a pale dust.
1:08:26
A silent field...
1:08:29
lilies and the taller
cypress trees...
1:08:35
such long cries,
mourning my young body!
1:08:46
Get a little inside these things
that lulled me to sleep.
1:08:51
Fatten your eyes
with that crumpled orchid.
1:08:56
With this bracelet
and these pink garters...
