WHITE

Such an insolent bruise to send one into frenzy

While the embracing flesh was losing its fury

All of a sudden it assumes its grey orphanage

You can’t put a foot wrong for reality

 

The blood in your vein holds up doggedly

you might be all smiles if only you can leave it behind

or you turn your face to the city

That is again to give birth to you by beginning with your wrists

In the blood you wish to have it bled

 

Whoever says what, let him splutter

A lie even stays in the air
