Immersed in a language you don’t understand,
you become even more attuned to the music of speech and the dark magic of writing.
A dream is like a small animal that disappears when you chase it
but will come back if you offer it food.
Unlettered in death,
we are immune to even the most appalling cliches.
It staggers me
to think that I owe my existence to the most athletic among a crowd of sperm cells.
Grown old and grizzled,
you no longer have to wonder whether her scent is meant for you.
