6. Waterfront

all night Hudson

coughs in bed

I try to sleep

my country

is a hide nailed to wood

the wind of my soul rushes

out of horizons

I make a hammock

in sleep

I suck birth village

touch my river’s curve

two black mackerel

pilot in

daybreak

gaff them sky gaff them

7. Absence

when the sun was no higher than the grass

jewels hung in the trees

and the terraces turned rose

between fluorescent lights along the ringroad

apartments hang their pietàs

they are frying potatoes

a factory discharges its hands in woollen gloves

there is a hole in my thumb

the vines are not green

the vines are not here

the jewels

crushed in high voltage wires

will be worn by the dead

DANGER DE MORT
