A proper knife to cut the onions:
Better than a random one.
1676 – a visit on a fall afternoon:
Better than words uttered in the void.
A stain remover for the cocktail dropped on your vest:
Better than the detergent for routine washing.
Forty minutes to flood your hair with heat:
Better than five minutes, causally.
Catch every breath of sound.
Every time light is unfolding.
Every little trade secret.
Every director’s name.
Every single word of a song.
Here in the foreign and familiar land
Where we call everything by his name
In the precise accumulation of every detail
That is happening
In the lover’s greatest respect for every
gesture
Here is the highest you can climb
Tell me
In this unequal day
About an incompetent eternity
Asymmetrical
Unique
Tell me the story
This supposedly
insoluble
Very moment
Is made of.
