Orbituary
Come in, she says. Are you afraid of the balance loss?
On my sanguine flowers lean, on my veil
—fast you go to the emptiness, far away is where the floor is—:
the more my wax transmutes into heat,
the more the eagle bites and the more the hall falls.
In the last tangibility, the nightfalled orchestra awaits you.
Listen to its score, to its weeping note.
Algid snake, awaken angel!
So many mirrors are your face and so much blindness…
Welcome to our Company!
Not an spectator: expectant you are.
There is no front row, machinery only…
«Incipit tragoedia / incipit parodia»!
Lo and behold: during the play
our «life at stake».
