I and nobody else reserve my place

on the last train

of the last tidal wave.

I and nobody else give tongue

to the last anguish

I and I alone

procure for myself with a flute

the first drops of virginal milk!

And now to be done

with the sun (it is not strong enough to go

to my strong head)

with the floury night laying its golden

eggs of uncertain fireflies

with the shock of hair trembling at the cliff-top

where the winds leap like troops of salty shifting horses

Exoticism, my pulse tells me, is no fit food
