my words | B |
sometimes grow thin | C |
as the tracks of the gulls on the beaches | D |

Necklace drunken bell | E |
for your hands smooth as grapes | F |
- | |
And I watch my words from a long way off | G |
They are more yours than mine | H |
They climb on my old suffering like ivy | A |

It climbs the same way on damp walls | I |
You are to blame for this cruel sport | J |

The wind of anguish still hauls on them as usual | P |

Lament of old mouths blood of old supplications | R |
Love me companion Don't forsake me Follow me | A |
Follow me companion on this wave of anguish | S |

But my words become stained with your love | T |
You occupy everything you occupy everything | L |
- | |
I am making them into an endless necklace | R |
for your white hands smooth as grapes | R |
