I hunted freckles
On the beautiful russet skins
I kept in my mouth
The hazel taste of the tousles
I was a priest-obstetrician
Of the blissful papayas
That were offered to the bird-catcher
Who caged street girls
I transplanted feathers
For the Tamil sorcerers
Who knew that one costume
Can dress a crowd
I tanned the sap
For the tormented beauties
And to deceive my dreams
Scaled the mermaids
I was much more than this
I was indespensable
And then, and then - look
I return to sand
I sampled the vinegar
For the accomplished women
Who bled thin blood
And gave into their urges
I got drunk on ponds
In the flatlands of tears
Where often got lost
Animal laments
I was much more than this
I was indespensable
And then, and then - look
I return to sand
I was a charming painter
Of caresses of nude flesh
And I united the lover
With his forbidden fruit
I smuggled ignorance
Rented out certainties
Misdirected evidence
Collected depravities
I was much more than this
I was indespensable
And then, and then - look
I return to sand
