[fissuring]
Between two high notes
The song gives a crack
Long enough
To allow me to enter
Like a fish jumping back
Into the night water
Both the fish and I leave no
Trace behind us, and the world
Remains undisturbed as we swim
Deeper and deeper in blue silence
Upon my return, I find the music
Still going on, while the fish has
Disappeared into the unknown
[pomegranate]
As long as you have ample blood
Filling in your cells, your heart
Will never fade
Within your fine structure
A rosy inner being:
Each sarcotesta is inflated
With juicy passion
