"Long chain braided of threads of shadow and blood
Long azure trail of useless
spaces There are no resounding fronts in hard eyes
More quiet
ice All counts in the naked
air The hand that takes its time
Under a warmer breath that swells the nostrils
But on the corner of the street where the shadow tightens
The eye looks up
The remorse is revived".
