Εμένα οι φίλοι μου είναι γκρίζες ριπές αναπνοής, κακό σιτάρι της γης. Συνδεδεμένοι με 'καλώδια' επιβίωσης – [modern lepers]- σε μια ολίσθηση μέσα σε κάτι που κτίζεται για κείνους χωρίς να το ξέρουν.
"Very early in my life it was too late."

[I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus With tigery stripes, and a face on it Round as the moon, to stare up. I want to be looking at them when they come Picking among the dumb minerals, the roots. I see them already--the pale, star-distance faces. Now they are nothing, they are not even babies. I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.They will wonder if I was important. My mirror is clouding over ---A few more breaths, and it will reflect nothing at all. The flowers and the faces whiten to a sheet.]
