Mouth, which slept in my mouth
Eye that guarded my own,
Hand-
and those eyes that drilled through me!
Mouth which spoke the sentence,
Hand, which executed me!

On plazas of the city at Christmas
…when the gifts begin to tremble because lovelessness walks through the world, because it snarls at you, barks at you from the snow, and the silver ribbons rip and the tinsel rustles silvery, and the silver and gold, and a golden word comes to you on which you choke because you have been sold and betrayed, and because it does not suffice that for you one is redeemed who once died.
