Preparing to run
(A cry for Dali)

Open drawers:
Escape from limited accidents
Avalanche in a ditch, floods in a barrel

We didn?t find any skin, nor did we clothing
Heaps of beginnings sunk down
Lamps gone, bulbs left behind

What we found was the lining,
And the distinction between the rock and the hard place,
The white membrane separating egg from shell.

(After Georg Johannesen, _Ars Moriendi_, 1965)
