Psalm II

pożeracze mojego ciała,
jak zabrzmi kanon naszej przyjaźni?
2 metry kwadratowe skóry,
koniec świata to moje
mieszkanie, 30 kilometrów kwadratowych
błon komórkowych domu
pańskiego powszedniego i woda,
woda, woda dla spragnionego, pijcie
to ze mnie krzywdziciele moi,
przyjaciele moi,
kochankowie moi,
suchą stopą przez morze moje
do jutra—
