When you find a man

Who transforms

Every part of you

Into poetry,

Who makes each one of your hairs

Into a poem,

When you find a man,

Capable,

As I am

Of bathing and adorning you

With poetry,

I will beg you

To follow him without hesitation,

It is not important

That you belong to me or him

But that you belong to poetry.

“I Conquer the World With Words”

I conquer the world with words,

conquer the mother tongue,

verbs, nouns, syntax.

I sweep away the beginning of things

and with a new language

that has the music of water the message of fire

I light the coming age

and stop time in your eyes

and wipe away the line

that separates

time from this single moment.
