The One Who Will Come Has Just Passed By
(For Spanish translation click here)

The one who will come has just passed by,

forbidden, to sit himself in my triple evolution;

he just passed like a criminal.

He just seated himself over there,

at body’s length from my soul,

he who came is an ass trying to weaken me;

he just seated himself standing, livid.

He just gave me what’s finished,

the heat of fire and the immense pronoun

that the animal nurtured under his tail.

He just

expressed his doubts to me on distant hypotheses

that he separates, even more, with a glance.

He just finished doing the honors to the good

by virtue of the vile pachyderm

for what’s dreamt in me and in him murdered.

He just finished fixing me (there is no first)

to his second affliction in full loins,

and his third sweat in full tears.

The one who comes has just passed without having come.
