VIII. Torch song

what would I not give to
know not your name to
discover amazed your
scent floating in February’s air to read your face out
of this world, like a
new flower fruit flavor, to
find you in a cold winter’s night when
I did not know you when the
blooming naivety of my eyes
settled upon you, curiosity with
no name brain breath, to
see, near like that time, one more time the horizon of a timeless summer

IX. Visione terza

… et boire de ta fleur la rosée du matin
