White Rose
(For Spanish translation click here)
I feel all right. Now
a stoical frost shines
on me.
Making me laugh, ruby-colored
rope
that grinds in my body.
Endless rope,
like a
spiral
descending
of evil . . .
bloody rope and lefty
shaped by
a thousand strut daggers.
Going in this way, braiding
its rolls of crepe;
and tying the tremulous cat
of Fear to the frozen nest,
to the ultimate bonfire.
And now I am calm,
surrounded by light.
And a shipwrecked coffin
meows in my Pacific.
