I have kissed the summer dawn
before the palaces
nothing moved
the water lay dead.
Battalions of shadows
still kept the forest road
i walked, walking warm
and vital breath
while stones watched
and wings rose soundlessly.
...a clear pale light
...a flower who told me its name
I came upon the goddess
Then one by one
I lifted her veils
across the meadow
where I betrayed her to the cock.
I hunted her
And I hunted her!
And smelled the scent
of her immense body.
Dawn and the child fell together
at the bottom of the wood
When I awoke, it was noon.
Life was it really this?
Life!
