In the shines of the chorion
Reproduction of Floods
Scratching the recessive appearance of the aureole
In the river's floods
Yawns of the cavitations
Guards its pleasure
Sacristies of glamorizing dormant
The piece of the soul trembles
Disengaging
To mirrors' texts
Paradises of a horizon raise the sky
By royal fingers
Outside these conclusions.


*****

Slowness
O you there the poet who named your rhymes
Sacred herbal
Your character's pendulum swings
In vacuum's fertilization
To promote us immortal embryos


*****

Slowness
O you there the poet
Your bad steps facing the cellars
Hang
Like the decayed goddess' statues

 
*****

Slowness
O you there ...
Your texts
Streets free of me
From the mercury of the hypomania
And the trees of the presbyters
Your balance :
By one hand
And On the other hand
Our fates grow.
