Cento
I must still uncloud myearthly duties
and the soldiers from thebodies.
On the table, two fragile
footprints of pollen
offering the gifts lockedinside it.
Poor humanity is camping ontrain station floors;
I must close my eyes to takeit in:
a melancholy aria about lifeand death
say why should love live
