The Composition of the Text

1

an adjective breathing the window open

the insertion's exact dimension in the rustling of pages

or see maybe how the text uses the body

see how the work is cosmic and biological and logical

in nocturnal voices in auroral explosions

in the croaking scratching scraping setting fire

here under the soft sky sticking all over the fingers

words that speak

2

he turns to the night cries out to it from the window

to slow down or existence is the circle is the space

is rhythmic swinging harpoon that brushes the lips

bronze gestures darkroom a stain left by the water

framed frozen hypocritical face dust hypnosis

see but how negation modifies the text

with possible words with impossible words

3

but the text is a living object furnished with keys

the crude resection its effect the incredible osmosis

this is the moment you wait for start cutting

see how it stretches and swells it's ready to burst

it's the young anaconda biting its own tail dragging

odor of marshes odor coined from the breath of swamps

a book a notebook a pen a painless desire

without words

4

tired now he becomes aware of his own purposes

it's not difficult to try various tests various experiments

improbable preparations for a voyage by now certain

you too let yourself become sterile don't throw open the door

untreatable eczema the stamped meat the ruins the slaughterhouse

in the text everything accumulates everything melts into vapor

remember it's late remember it's time to go to say goodbye

with a few careful innocuous words

5

after the first beats the material becomes insensible

or sensible uncertain private risky privileged declension

in terms of organic functions or malfunctions

or in terms of chipped awkward monodical alternatives

see at this point how the text begins to miss the beat

the refusal is to b lame you begin with the same refusal as before

but you will accept whatever other duty entrusted to you

that has no need of words

6

it's incoherent it's undetermined his sickness has no purpose

now that we are in the text the fixtures appear to subside

a noun is an excess of coughing the beginning of hysteria

the vulgar embellishment the shears dripping with blood

without falcons without promises without hunting horns without catharsis

the woods are full of fragile docile stupid victims

the woods are full of love and how it hates love

this word

7

before long in the text the final part will have begun

catalog of mannerisms and of rapes song and narcoses

marking on the calendar with a pencil the delivery date

a verb is the parasite the narcissus the rage beneath the skin

but see how the machine masticates and bubbles and heats up

the music rises the hand corrects the lights go down low

the head even lower open your arms wide don't shut your eyes

cancel that word
