1. Before the road, I begin
My journey, the travel of my letters

2. I come before my birth
After the extent of my lagging

3. Searching for my forehead
And for the veins of my insight

4. And for the eyes of my square
And for the breasts of my summer

5. I cry to the hills: Jump!
And to the gardens: Crawl!

6. And to the banks: Sail!
And to the seas: Flap!

7. And to the branches: Travel!
And to the veins: Flutter!

8. And to the fields: Soar!
And to the graves: Call out!

9. And to the storms: Sleep!
And to the rocks: Rage!

10. I feel them all
Echoing: I'm tired of my stance

11. I'm bored of standing still so long
And waiting wearies me

12. Shall I start my movement?
Learn to know

13. And try to reject
And attempt to sweep away

14. Change and alter
Renew and philosophize

15. And burn what they brought out
And compiled and compiled

16. So you are born anew
Before birth, I end

17. And hasten my journey
I wander lost in my fragments

18. No step guides me
Nor road follows me

19. I extend my voice crossing over
And mount my fervor

20. And uncover worlds
Hidden and pick myself apart

21. Loaded with impishness
Pregnant and a face that picks at me

22. The skin of the sidewalk is my loincloth
The color of the winds my coat

23. My nationality is my strangeness
My kingdom my extremism

24. My city is a poem
I ignite it and extinguish it

25. A beloved who kills me
Moments and disappears

26. A blaze that drinks me
I drink it and quench my thirst

27. I feel the pulse of a star
That swoops down upon my forehead

28. I disappear in my disintegration
So that my probing may find its way
