THE ACTRESSES OF NIGHT
black night the plank I am
forced to walk night the girl undressing I see by chance
by the window I am falling and it is like being played with
by older girls it is
the black stockings the young widow takes off
in front of you night takes off her panties in the dark
and they smell like old coves
1961
THE PARAMOUR
don t tell me I know
the bedrooms like one
hundred rivers
that disappear underground I know the solitary couches
with the inscriptions of mistresses
written in blood
