The time for the first revolution
was upon us when the dill and the mint
performed their liturgy
and declared the aroma of life
re-established.
However, they allotted it to me,
a sacrilegious fighter, who I was
to bring back their fragrance
to my mother’s table and
to embalm the body of my father
in fleeting airy smells
so that I could stop
the unstoppable passing of sand
through the dutiful hourglass
I summoned my blind Destiny and
I made a lamppost of my body
the blind to bless with light
and the soft skin of the dead man
with the everlasting feeling of touch
I accurately summoned
my blind Destiny
to lead me to unimaginable deeds
