Masseuse |
Fortune wags its tongue |
Along the walkways of the bathhouse |
They say the monk returned from Iceland |
Unearthly boon in stow |
He who possesses the Pin of Quib |
Is granted eternal beauty |
I am tired of men |
Of kneading the knots from their bulbous backs and necks |
And rinsing their filmy water |
From this mew of tiles |
When I heard tell of the Pin of Quib |
Straight away I knew I had to hold it at all costs |
A storm like a drum |
Encompasses the priory |
As I go on mouse-toes |
Into the blind man’s chamber |
And leaning over his bed |
I push the blade between his ribs |
But then in a flash he’s got my wrists |
And he’s pinned me to the floor |
I wake up gagged and bound |
To a windless ochre forest |
The monk’s wan face inches from my own |
His breath smells like pears |
He asked me then |
«would you like to see the Pin?» |
Retching on his filth |
I nod «more than anything» |
From inside his coat |
He fishes a brooch |
A plain pea of stone |
No bigger than a thumbnail |
And I can hardly believe |
How very ordinary it seems |
Then it dawns on me |
It was all mere folly |
«Yes, now you see |
The Pin’s a pebble only |
That which you so thirstily |
Coveted over my dead body |
Now it is yours to keep |
You are its custodian |
But first I must have your eyes |
Then the circle will be whole" |
I once |
Could see |
But now |
I am blind |
And all sense |
Of the world is lost |
Lost, lost |
I once |
Could see |
But now |
I am blind |
And all sense |
Of the world is lost |
Lost, lost |
