The Peace, the Wasp, the Bung, the Hillsides
(For Spanish translation click here)

The peace, the wasp, the bung, the hillsides,

the dead man, the ten liter, the owl,

the sites, the ringworm, the tombs, the vase, the dark women,

the unknowing, the kettle, the altarboy,

the drops, the forgetfulness,

the potentate, the cousins, the archangels, the needle,

the parish priests, the ebony, the spite,

the part, the type, the stupor, the soul . . .

Malleable, saffroned, external, spotless,

portable, old, thirteen, bloodsmeared,

photographed, active, tumescent,

connected, broad, ribboned, perfidious . . .

Burning, comparing,

living, infuriated,

striking, analyzing, listening, shuddering,

dying, holding on, locating, weeping . . .

After, these, here

after, overhead,

perhaps, while, behind, so much, so never,

beneath, maybe, far,

always, that one, tomorrow, how much,

how much! . . .

The horrible, the sumptuous, the slowest,

the august, the fruitless,

the ominous, the twitching, the wet, the fatal,

the all, the most pure, the lugubrious,

the cruel, the satanic, the tactile, the profound . . .
