Day 8:
And I said to myself: that's true, hope needs to be
like barbed wire to keep out despair,
hope must be a mine field.


Day 9:
Here they sit and there they walk
Here they hate and there they love.


Day 10:
Sometimes I come crashing down inside myself
without anyone noticing. I'm like an ambulance
on two legs


Day 11:
And his soul is seasoned, his soul
is very professional.
Only his body remains forever
an amateur.


Day 12:
More than one prophet
has left this tangle of lanes
while everything topples above him and he becomes someone else.



Day 13:
Near my bed, the rustle of newspaper wings.
There are no other angels.


Day 14:
Perhaps from being beaten thinner and thinner,
the iron of hatred will vanish, forever.
