“nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,

the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
-excerpt of #35 from "100 Selected Poems”

"Excuse me?"
"It’s fucking near water.”
