by Affonso Romano De Sant’anna (from The body-object and other examples, No.10) Translated by Lloyd Schwartz
You are the end
of house
of man
of poem
the ultimate remnant
of the ultimate remnant.
Seated
in the rounded white nook
of the commodious
accommodation
You wait
incommodious
intestine
You receive
mute, naked
the integral verb
(aquatic mouth
gaping)
Humiliated
more than humiliating
you're the general separator
of good and evil
pushbutton or chain
