'La mer est froide sans amour.'

'Suddenly it is the wilderness
And I lose my way in the dark
The enemy is standing there
I am alone in this body
I am alone for love'

'Everyone should be a conqueror.'

'I gaze upon you and the sun grows large'

'The Broken Mirror

The wind is steering;
The vertical horizon
Pours the sky into your nervous hand.'

'BEING

My brow a surrendered flag
I drag you by the hands when I am lonely
In cold streets
Dark rooms
Crying want

I will not let them go
Your intricate light hands
Born in the darkened mirror of my own

All else is perfect
All else is vainer still
Than life

Dig the earth under your shadow

A sheet of water near your breasts
Where I can sink
Like a stone'

'BEING

My brow a surrendered flag
I drag you by the hands when I am lonely
In cold streets
Dark rooms
Crying want
I will not let them go
Your intricate light hands
Born in the darkened mirror of my own
All else is perfect
All else is vainer still
Than life
Dig the earth under your shadow
A sheet of water near your breasts
Where I can sink
Like a stone'
