dream-in-action by gherasim luca

the beauty of your smile your smile
in crystals the crystals of velvet
the velvet of your voice your voice and
your silence your silence absorbent
absorbent like the snow the snow
warm and slow slow is
your step your step diagonal
diagonal thirst night silk and floating
floating like the moans the plants
are in your skin your skin them
mess she messes your perfume
your perfume is in my mouth your mouth
is a thigh a thigh that flies
she flies towards my teeth my teeth
devour you I devour your absence
your absence is a thigh thigh or
shoe shoe that I kiss
I kiss this shoe I kiss it on
your mouth for your mouth is a mouth
she is not a shoe mirror that I kiss
just as your legs just as
your legs just as your legs
just as your legs your legs
legs of sigh sigh
of vertige vertige of your face
I enjamb your image like one enjambs
a window window of your being and of
your mirages your image her body and
her soul your soul your soul and your nose
surprised I am surprised nose of your
hair your hair-cut in flames your soul
in flames and in tears like the toes of
your feet your feet on my chest
my chest in your eyes your eyes
in the forest the forest liquid
liquid and in bones the bones of my cries
I write and I cry from my tearing tongue
I tear your arms your arms
delirious I desire and tear your arms and your arms
the bottom and the top of your body shuddering
shuddering and pure pure like the orange
orange of your knees of your nostrils of
your breath of your stomach I say
stomach but I think of the swim
of the swim of the cloud cloud of
secret the secret marvelous marvelous
like yourself
you on the rooftop somnambulist and cloud
cloud and diamond it is one
diamond that swims that swims with suppleness
you swim with suppleness in the water of the
matter of the matter of my spirit
in the spirit of my body in the body
of my dreams of my dreams in action
