A Left Hand Made Verse 3
There is a man – he is still alive in his eyes
and he is dragging his body beyond his own look.
Look here, we too believe:
as soon as he reaches the ruins
he will crush his head under the mill-stone.
The horizon is too vast.
Only it is the bed of eye
where I pushed the ships in the evening sea.
Now you and me will drink this untruth too,
then will embrace each other and….
You let me meet your shoulder.
You have returned your shoulder to me
because you could not bend the road
because you have no extra shoulder –
you have not the third one,
as you have only two of them and you just hide the empty sleeve
in order bread to eat justice
the bread itself to be eaten by blood
the blood by earth
in order the earth to defend both of us.
I put on my back a forest as it were the colored pencils
And as a hawk I flew over the accidental food.
I said: I am a poet
I must be alive in my texts
Whatever will happen.
