Verses of a Pantheist
Lose me o star
–says the poet –
pierce me with the arrow of distance
spring drink me
–says the man as he drinks–
drain me to the bottom to nothingness

You become more silent than the silence around you. And then something...

Each morning a vision came to me.
Gradually I understood that these were naked glimpses of my soul.

She stands into the wind.
It is a hard wind slanting from the north.
Long flaps and shreds of flesh rip off the woman’s body and lift
