variabilities

1

After the first morning I seek

the lips' crude formulations

Again and again I kiss the memory of

pass me! pass me! The salt and the white

consciousness in endless writing

What you gave my thoughts is words and

excrement, a body with the functions

of a star

What you gave me is pure morning

My passion: to go further
