“Behind my words are my hopes And behind my hopes is an angel singing my death and yours I said to her "It's the ending of a cycle and the ending of me in your life" She is now awake to the sound of nature and the angel's voice We are soaring in the approaching stars I am dreaming and cannot comprehend it I have seen the stars Dear stars: the awakening and the loss, we are born and fall Dear stars, you too are above and lost and hanging like a booklet unread yet open for us all Behind my eyes is a secret I vouched to never share it I see the selfsame eyes of my mother and my grand mother And the eyes of my great grandmother, whom I never knew but felt And so this line unto the Alef and the omega point at infinity With my eye still I see the light, the crow that sees everything and smiles And knows everything and smile We comprehend a moment through him and smile I see all around my skin and beyond I have sung one thousand songs on the electric body I have invented my self I have killed my self I am just a form of English words written by an Algerian spirit”

“Bebe el que está en ayunas para fortalecerse; bebe el que ha ganado en sus ventas, de alegría; el que ha perdido, para consuelo; el que alcanzo el sí de la dulcinea, para celebrarlo; el de los nones, para olvidar; el despechado, por despecho; el vicioso, por el vicio; el minero, porque vendió bien el oro; éste, porque le birlaron en el empleo; el otro, porque lo birló; beben unos, porque hace frío; otros, porque llueve; y porque hace calor y para sanar del dolor de la barriga. Bebe el que tiene que irse, porque se va; el que tiene que quedarse, porque se queda; éste, por acompañar a aquel; aquel, por acompañar a este; beben los amigos que se encuentran y los que se despiden; los que tienen disgustos domésticos y los que tienen ofensas que vengar; bebe el viejo octogenario y el mozo apenas salido de la infancia; bebe el que está triste y el que está alegre (tomado de El palacio de la felicidad)”
