Simply Swim

We are forced to swim, to fly
strokes that do not reach
never any bank: the requirement
splash inane, disenchantment
of fighting in a circle of foam and waves
crisp, and salt in the breath, thirst
never resolved in the papilla,
burning of the tongue caked.

We cracked memory.

We sneak a winter leaves

Does Opalescensce Expire

In Ausiàs in Sant Jordi

In Jordi de Sant Jordi defeat

which is already up in advance,

service serene patience.

In Ausiàs, madness without mercy,

exile frost, the sea boiling.
