I don’t remember myself as a child until I heard poetry
|
And immediately after them, a breakdown about the search for light longing
|
Find your first lines, wandering through other people's yards
|
Canals, streets, construction sites, they whispered to me sweetly and terribly
|
That I must forget my address, that I must forget my name
|
To grow up to be a schizophrenic monkey
|
Destroy the usual order, arrange a senseless riot
|
To speak only throwing down the glove, and that the words will kill me
|
All life is like an attempt to escape beyond the personality
|
To express something between the drunken howl of a bum and an aphorism containing the wisdom of the earth
|
I am a being without age and gender, standing at my tombstone
|
Trying to remember the first word to go this way again
|
My home is like a hallway
|
Time is frozen heat
|
All the faces of passers-by are familiar
|
For loved ones vaguely alien
|
My home is like a hallway
|
Time is frozen heat
|
Shedding my skin
|
The line between the world and me
|
I dreamed of being a poet, and it seemed to me that I was,
|
But the poems are not with the letters of the cage, but with the guts of the coffin
|
One day I woke up in a cemetery, where on each tombstone there is an inscription
|
So beautiful and so scary rhymed with my name
|
I shouted: "God, teach me to see how
|
Everything around looks like something, seems to hint at something,
|
But God was silent, he does not speak with a poet, he speaks with a poet
|
Now I am neither alive nor dead, a strange hybrid of subject and object
|
If a woman is something between an angel and a devil,
|
And a man is between the beast and God
|
That poet between a man and a woman is something,
|
And therefore doomed to be lonely
|
So do me a favor, don't call me male or female
|
I fuck the sky with an ink rod, and I get pregnant with verses from it
|
All my wives are widows
|
All my children are orphans
|
My loved ones, who are you?
|
My heart, whose are you?
|
All my wives are widows
|
All my children are orphans
|
My lines, who are you from?
|
My conscience, what are you talking about? |
