“No Time, No Space (The Sonnet)
There is no time, no space,
There is only love.
There is no intellect, no philosophy,
There is only love.
There is no defeat, no victory,
There is only love.
There is no loss, no gain,
There is only love.
There is no path, no pedestrian,
There is only love.
There is no mission, no means,
There is only love.
All of us are either echoes of love beyond chains,
Or just some traditional trash of glory and gain.”

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

obješeni o ništa... beznačajno.”

“Vezano usve umirućim trunjem neke racionalnosti osjetno živomorne u nesnu te omrazi što straje opirući se punoći pa imenima, pak udesima u bezmjernom slijedu potisnutih ishoda, istom bezgraničnom nizu ograničenih okolnosti što se razlijevaju zapažajima oštrim i snažnim i sve nas tu zaziđuje, zadržava nas orodeći protuornim protusmislom, a dugi slatki ushit spram spuštanja u traumu tako svejednako i često guši... prema tome smo bili djeca, u doticaju sa nehtijenjem primarno čisti kao izgubljeno, iskreno, otkraja smo pokušavali živjeti veoma stvarno i predao sam se amneznoj zamršenosti strastveno rasipljućih a smrtnih dana spokojno, i ja sam bio izričito živ, uopće znatiželjno, poćudno srodan odmornoj slutnji nestajuće slobode nepromjenjivo mirne do same biti, odalečen uzvijorenim zaboravom sebe i poliprisutan, ali potrošen, ipak skoro uvijek zatravljen uzorima svetosno pustim, u krivu, lažan, lomljiv, kukavan - i spominjem se orunjen oceanom samoće da sam u mržnji spram sebe širio strah, samozatrovano, tako manje svet, po strukturi starijoj od onoga što sam ja.”
“Kojiput agresivna vatra kreacije makar zatrpana mokrom zemljom i udavljena i ostavljena ipak ostaje tinjati održavajući se blijedo a bijesno i ne poznajući odsustvo narednih kovitlaja čak ni kao pojam, ali podrovano, još pospano pušteni svrsjem teškim i stranim koje uznemirava, nas ono boli, bitkom, značenjski rastrže tako da i sada zapravo tu vrednujemo zator. Pitam se kao putnik već domoren sobom na korak ispred ponora kada li će kraj, sumjerljivo, u sljepariji, maglenosivim svitanjem kroza mrak osluškujem spore korake illustrissimusa, interlokutora, taj mi prilazi rastapan sjećanjem
isto sasvim umorno, od traganja, od osjećajnog, marno podatnog propitivanja sada i metalogikom, a takav mi je neprepoznatljiv, samo nekom smetnutom prašinom dugo mrtve prelesti prisutan sada zastarjelo - jedna uredna ideja. Po tomu onda pozadinski, poizdalje, podsjećam se da sam ga poznavao, svime prividnim i doloznim opstrijet neumoljivo, zaustavljen, kad ono me uočio jurist, različjem pokorno očaran, do iscrpljenosti, moj tužitelj, humilni sluga, rival intimus, moj saveznik i neprijatelj, a zvao se Atrahasis.”

Fui feliz allí, el mes pasado, en noche de luna llena, en Los Portales, ni antes ni después de esa noche, en el último mes de julio de mi juventud.
