The days – salamanders, were passing, white,
against the background of an elapsed summer.
The synthesis was a baby.
Everything is headlong –
to be touched, skin to skin,
and to become one.
Time was speaking.
It was saying that the future was past,
and the past was never.
I love you!, I was saying to the underwater bells of light
where I was seeing him above the sea floor.
I was loving him with bliss,
and I was knowing him.
Ουροβόρος (Ouroboros)
He is caressing my breasts,
I am caressing his hands,
which are caressing my breasts.
All life created itself so that
I would feel in your arms
the way I do.
