somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience, your eyes have their silence.
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near your slightest look easily will unclose me

the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries
rendering death and forever with each breathing
