| clothes over a chair | B |
| to fill yourself with | C |
| my vanity my love | D |
| my hope my body | E |
| Barely | E |
| risen from sleep | F |
| I relinquish the water | G |
| enter your sleeves | H |
| my legs look for | I |
| the hollows of your legs | J |
| and so embraced | K |
| by your indefatigable faithfulness | J |
| I rise to tread the grass | J |
| enter poetry | E |
| consider through the windows | J |
| the things | J |
| the men the women | L |
| the deeds and the fights | J |
| go on forming me | E |
| go on making me face things | J |
| working my hands | J |
| opening my eyes | J |
| using my mouth | M |

| clothes | J |
| I too go forming you | N |

| and then | Y |
| you will die with me | E |
| or one day | V |
| not quite | T |
| so dramatic | Z |
| but simple | A2 |
| you will fall ill | B2 |
| clothes | J |
| with me | E |
| grow old | C2 |
| with me with my body | E |
| and joined | D2 |
| we will enter | G |
| the earth | E2 |
| Because of this | J |
| each day | V |
| I greet you | N |
| with reverence and then | Y |
| you embrace me and I forget you | N |
| because we are one | L |
| and we will go on | F2 |
| facing the wind in the night | T |
| the streets or the fight | T |
| a single body | E |
| one day one day some day still | B2 |
