Dear with Extremes of Thirst and Pain

poetry, collaboration
First eyelids and lips are closed, then open. Now, open eyes appear unseeing. A kind of dreaming.
For thousands of years people have carried their faces this way, one by one, only on their heads.
Under these conditions nothing is harder to control than reason. You babble without speaking,
march into the desert without water. We will die tomorrow, the day after at the latest.

Case of ditto for eating meat.
Copper rings for arms and
Above the knee. Arm rings
Made from Elephant's teeth.
Ditto ditto for eating meat.

Here lies a bicycle. Here lies
A shoe. Here sand or ash or
Fingertips and from your Mama
Comes a tune; sound like water…
