Definition

The poem comes and breaks itself

against the world’s rib

like the blade of a dagger

leaving behind a glittering trajectory,

the poem always means to stab you to death

its thrust

is never a deadly blow.

Inscription

May those who have profaned the poets’ kind

those who have fed on the marrow of their

brother’s bones be cursed

may the worm dressed up in the butterfly’s garments

be cursed for ever.
