1 Do not go further Than the children's table, Than the lofty joy's table, Than lofty date-palms, The duck's singing, The clay icons and the winds of herbs. Do not go further than the desert of jealousy, The blue sleep, The desert of white lime and the unkempt words. Do not go further than the body of vision. 2 What is the use of poems If they do not lead me? 3 “What do I do- the stag said - If you drink from my pulse?” The crocodile was silent for a while. On the stag's cheek On the river's cheek and flowers' The crocodile patted smilingly. Only moments passed The crocodile devoured the stag. Only moments passed The crocodile devoured the river and the flowers. 4 I fear that my black moons will steal me. I fear that my black moons will leave me As a dead whale at the coast. I fear that I fear. 5 Do you remember who named you Who gave you the frustration and the play?

Papers for the past and desire. Papers for jealousy and enchantment: white papers! T M
