My friend, look! Like letters in your hand, like

sleep, that dream, I watch you through the opening.

In the first dream - sleeping eyelids, centuries

after - I watch through premonitions, oracles

There was - bowing

forehead to forehead.

Ahead - your forehead,

brow - a flagrant halfrhyme

in my mouth.
