“As sombras continuarão a visitar-me
mas o meu amor as distrairá.
Cozinharei para elas a euforia
com fígado e cebola, água do rio,
granizo e mel. Afundarei o crepúsculo
nos pratos, enquanto sussurro o segredo
da loba, e deixarei que todas se sentem
em redor da mesa.
Elas soltar-me-ão o cabelo e tocarão,
ao de leve, o meu pescoço.
E da minha boca cairão flores sobre a toalha.
Vejam o meu amor aí derramado
como é infinito e grande e húmido,
uma debandada de cavalos selvagens.
Assim é o meu amor, sintam-no
tão largo como é, ofensivo, bruto.
Comam-no, digladiem-se, desçam.
E, no fim, deixem-me em paz
para eu poder adormecer docemente
depois de voltar a pentear os meus afectos.”

“Practical affairs task the human brain throughout the day. At night, the mind takes a deserved hiatus to consider the impossible and the absurd. In the carnage of our nighttime sleep tussles, the colored liqueurs of the true, the possible, fantasy, and the mythic beliefs become intermixed. Eyelets of the commonsensical and the imaginative are incorporated, and a new realism emerges out of our distilled perception of the veridical derived from the phenomenal realm of sensory reality and the philosophic world of ideals contained in the noumenal realm. The resultant psychobiologic vision immerses us in bouts of intoxicating inspiration and artistic stimulation and leaves us rickety boned and weakened after enduring a dreaded hangover of perpetual doubt laced with vagueness and insecurity.”
