They are perfect, ancient, Sanskrit,
machines that admit of no appeal.
They do not bite to eat,
they bite only to jump;
they are the dancers of the celestial sphere,
delicate acrobats
in the softest and most profound circus;
let them gallop on my skin,
divulge their emotions,
amuse themselves with my blood,
but someone should introduce them to me.
I want to know them closely,
I want to know what to rely on.

I like you calm, as if you were absent,
It seems that your eyelids have taken to flying:it seems that a kiss has sealed up your mouth.Since all these things are filled with my spirit,you come from things, filled with my spirit.You appear as my soul, as the butterfly’s dreaming,and you appear as Sadness’s word.I like you calm, as if you were distant,you are…
