(for Omer Di Tur)
The feeling of a tunel: circulatory expansion of the flesh, and the torso stretched until breaking.
We will walk over the graves until we find one with an entrance made invitation.
One foot at a time, one knee at a time
We will enter there where one will rest one day.
WE COVER OUR SELVES
And each thing is symbolic
Because it has to be
HB becomes DH and talks, finally
IF BURIED HERE THOSE BEAUTIFUL EYES ARE CLOSED
FOREVER THIS IS NOW MY REQUIEM
THEY WERE ALIVE AND NO ONE NOTICED THEM
NOW EVERYBODY KEEPS THEM DEAD AND LOST
