like a poet made his verse
by injecting sand, glass and iron
all materials for making clones.
Like a poet made sand castles
with a semipermeable memory
without letting them decay
in free or infected verse..
In the poet shadowy hospitals
vibrate like sand castles
in memory, under waves of fear
that can make suffer the angels.
Hospitals do not collapse
because they make clones: dry waves
on the paper that multiplies fear
under the verse to which shade listens.
Translation by Andrew Yencken.
