While on the surface

Light and shade take turns

And smile and tears

And fair and ugly

Saint and nasty

And the monstrous

Is just the different:

Tiny crack in the globe's perfection



Down there swarms excess:

Where exception is the rule

And the loathsome

Spreads always

Unexplored dimensions

And sundry doors

Open on the magma:

The black holes



In the terrible adventure

Of each night

Whose irrational daring

Springs only

From the ignorance

Of danger

The doors open wide

And streams of unknown

Flow into the sleep



The unnameable

Gave me the axe

To lop off the head

Sever the limbs

Disguise coldly

And throw away



My brother



Lights often keep secret hypnosis

Sleeping down

- There -

In the dark
