“explodează în mine avântule
odată iubire haină
croială neterminată de-mi vrei supliciul ți-oi da otrava
de-ți dau deliciul să-mi iei
epava pe pieptul țărânii-ntr-o iarnă fatală
să te știe doar câinii plagă
capitală răsare pe mare o floare albastră
Eminescu a râs de patima noastră cu lacrimi apuse
îmi iartă un gând (te văd fără chip)
doar c-un gust de vânt cu ochii-n soare mă cauți flămând
nu cred că învingi
m-am visat râzând
duel”

“Human beings have an annoying habit of recognizing patterns in everything. We all find comfort in ways as we fear everything spontaneous. Yet, everything we do is experimental with null results, or every other innovation in life is merely an accident.”
