“Poetry”
And it was at that age …
Poetry arrived in search of me.
I don’t know, I don’t know where
it came from..
from winter or a river.
I don’t know how or when,
no, they were not voices,
they were not words,
nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from others,
among violent fires
or returning alone,
there I was without a face
and it touched me.
(…)
And I, tiny being,
drunk with the great starry
void,
likeness, image of
mystery,
felt myself a pure part of the abyss.
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke loose on the wind.

I recognize this voice, stare, and stroke. This, the most intimate and of all knowledge — a thick cloud of clarity.
