That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,

And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!”

her fingers as long and thin as straws,
her eyes burnt by cigarettes,
her uterus an empty teacup,
arrived with an evil gift.”

myself, smaller,
not thin but thinner, nervous,
who hurries without animal calm.”
