I brought the body of my tongue to the table
of morning
inside a bowl of hard bread and water from
the Ganges
while child brides prayed for the death
they were already living
beside the burned dead
among petals and incense on the stilted
crematories
with ink I made

I erased with the crumb of bread
with my voice I tucked in the feathers of
sick birds
I bit the desert to learn how to be silent

I kissed in flight the comet creature
and rooted its light within me in the little

before love I have nothing else

Description

I only know that my song is a little.
It is my path.
That poetry and my life coincide.
They intertwine along the way of the little.
A path with the vocation of the wind, close to nothing yet bearer of everything.

After five unpublished lyrical imprints that are rooted in the title, there follow— in chronological order of publication—eight works born over a span of just over twenty years, from 1996 to 2022.
I open marked by India, and I conclude my search in the textures of Japanese soil.
