My eyes discover you
naked
         and cover you
with a warm rain
of glances

                        .

A cage of sounds
                          open
to the morning
                        whiter
than your thighs
                          at night
your laughter
                     and even more your foliage
your blouse of the moon
                                      as you leap from bed

Sifted light
                 the singing spiral
reals-in whiteness
                           Chiasm
X
   planted in a chasm

                                     .

My day
            exploded
in your night
                    Your cry
leaps in pieces
                      Night
spreads
           your body
washing under
                      your bodies
knot
Your body once again

                                     .

Vertical hour
                    drought
spins its flashing wheels
Garden of knives
                          feast of deceit
Through these reverberations
                                             you enter
unscathed
                the river of my hands

                                     .

Quicker than fever
you swim in the darkness
                                      your shadow clearer
between caresses
                         your body blacker
You leap
             to the bank of the improbable
toboggans of how when because yes
Your laughter burns your clothes
                                                   your laughter
wets my forehead my eyes my reasons
Your body burns your shadow
You swing on the trapeze of fear
the terrors of your childhood
                                             watch me
from your cliffhanging eyes
                                         wide-open
making love
                   at the cliff
Your body clearer
                            Your shadow blacker
You laugh over your ashes

                                     .

Burgandy tongue of the flayed sun
tongue that licks your land of sleepless dunes
hair unpinned
                      tongue of whips
                                               spoken tongues
unfastened on your back
                                      enlaced
on your breasts
                        writing that writes you
with spurred letters
                              disowns you
with branded signs
                             dress that undresses you
writing that dresses you in riddles
writing in which I am buried
                                            Hair unpinned
the great night swift over your body
jar of hot wine
                       spilled
on the tablest of the law
howling nude and the silent cloud
cluster of snakes
                          cluster of grapes
trampled
              by the cold soles of the moon
rain of hands leaves fingers wind
on your body
                     on my body on your body
Hair unpinned
                       foliage of the tree of bones
the tree of aerial roots that drink night from the sun
The tree of flesh                       The tree of death

                                     .

Last night
                in your bed
we were three:
the moon   you & me

                                     .

I open
           the lips of your night
damp hollows
                      unborn
echoes:

           whiteness
a rush
          of unchained water

                                     .

To sleep to sleep in you
or even better to wake
                                  to open my eyes
at your center
                      black white black
white
         To be the unsleeping sun
your memory ignites
                                (and
the memory of me in your memory

                                     .

And again the sap skywise
rises
       (salvia your name
is flame)
             Sapling
crackling
              (rain
of blazing snow)
                         My tongue
is there
            (Your rose
burns through the snow)
                                      is
now
        (I seal your sex)
                                dawn
from danger drawn
