“Not one death but many,
not accumulation but change, the feed-back proves, the feed-back is
the law
Into the same river no man steps twice
When fire dies air dies
No one remains, nor is, one
Around an appearance, one common model, we grow up
many. Else how is it,
if we remain the same,
we take pleasure now
in what we did not take pleasure before? love
contrary objects? admire and / or find fault? use
other words, feel other passions, have
nor figure, appearance, disposition, tissue
the same?
To be in different states without a change
is not a possibility”

Part I, 4

“What does not change / is the will to change”

The Kingfishers (1950)

“When the attentions change / the jungle
leaps in even the stones are split
they rive”

Part I, 3
The Kingfishers (1950)
