Total Valor
for & after Régis Bonvincino
The spring came suddenly
Azaleas
But azaleas are a flower of the winter
We are not located in the space
São Paulo, New York, Santiago, San Francisco, Los Angeles
The wind is singing but it is not saying anything
Clouds seem to be sand there
Destiny of the navigators
"How provincial is São Paulo"
It's okay but in the evening it begins to ache
We were talking yesterday
about how the fog
sticks to the mountain
The best part is to depart
Nickey, Turn Off the Lights
Such sweet abasement in undividable
Swarm
Who spew & crawl - Amalgam
Courts either herself or its
Compare, steeled
By potions of caption -
Presumption's dismay.
Plunge - Else spool & be
Unstrung, abhorring motion, sedimenting
Thrall.
