"The New Creatures"

"The theory is that birth is prompted
by the child's desire to leave the womb.
But in the photograph an unborn horse's
neck strains inward w/ legs scooped out.

From this everything follows:

Swallow milk at the breast
until there's no milk.

Squeeze wealth at the rim
until tile pools claim it.

He swallows seed, his pride
until w/ pale mouth legs

she sucks the root, dreading
world to devour child.

Doesn't the ground swallow me
when I die, or the sea
if I die at sea?"

"The Lords"

"You may enjoy life from afar. You may look at
things but not taste them. You may caress
the mother only with the eyes."

"Os Mestres"

"O voyeur é um masturbador, o espelho o seu emblema,
a janela a sua prece."

"The Lords"

"The voyeur, the peeper, the Peeping Tom, is a dark
comedian. He is repulsive in his dark anonymity,
in his secret invasion. He is pitifully alone.
But, strangely, he is able through this same silence
and concealment to make unknowing partner of
anyone
within his eye’s range. This is his threat and
power.

There are no glass houses. The shades are drawn
and “real” life begins. Some activities are impossible
in the open. And these secret events are the voyeur’s
game. He seeks them out with his myriad army of
eyes- like the child’s notion of a Diety who sees
all. “Everything?” asks the child. “Yes, every-
thing”, they answer, and the child is left to cope
with this divine intrusion."

"Os Mestres"

"Todos os jogos contêm a ideia de morte."
