THERE IS NO MEANING TO YOUR PERMISSIBLE NESTS
I say
to the calm that guards the darkness
from the maze
to the departed as they rave about our names
that are full of sorrow
and to those of the broken time
I will hold fast
and wean the morning’s rushes that want to scream
and like a fortune teller...
I spread the dictionaries of the maze
and smile at the drought that climbed
on passages of foam
and in order to preserve the commandments
of skills I will search for the spring that curved
like a tree
nothing
related to this madness
that bends over a goal
of reeds.
