“DEPARTURE
The horizon slopes away
The days are longer
Trip
A heart hops in a cage
A bird sings
It is going to die
Another door is going to open
At the end of the corridor
Where a star
Begins to shine
A dark-haired woman
The lantern of the departing train
("Departure")”
― The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology

“ADIEU
The glimmer farther away than the head
The heart-skip
On the slope where the air rolls its voice
The spokes of the wheel
the sun in the rut
At the crossroads
near the embankment
a prayer
Some words that are not heard
Nearer the sky
And on its steps
the last square of light
("Adieu")”

“POST
Not a head stands out
A finger rises
Then it is the voice that one knows
A signal
a brief note
A man leaves
Up above a cloud that passes by
No one goes in
And the night keeps its secret”

“The lock in the heart that shatters
A thread of silk
A thread of lead
A thread of blood
After these waves of silence”

“Myslím, že nejsem ani básník, ani spisovatel, ani umělec. Ale člověk, který nenašel jiný způsob, jak zůstat ve styku s životem, jak se udržet nad hladinou. Psal jsem, jako se chytáme záchranného pásu.”
