from "They Will Sew the Blue Sail" by Henri Michaux

Against alveoli

against glue

against glue one another

against the soft one another

Cactus!

Flames of blackness

impetuous

dagger mothers

battle roots shooting through the plain


Race that rolls

crawling that boils

unity that swarms

lump that dances


One defenestrated flies off

one torn apart from bottom to top

one torn apart throughout

one torn apart never again retied


Man buttressed

man bounding

man rushing down

man for the lightning operation

for the tempest operation

for the assegai operation

for the harpoon operation

for the shark operation

for the shatter operation


Man not according to the flesh

but by the void and evil and intestinal torches

and gusts and nervous discharges

and reversals

and returns

and rage

and quartering

and tangling

and taking off in sparks


Man not by the abdomen and gluteal plates or vertebrae

but by his currents, his feebleness which straightens up under shock, his starts

man according to the moon and burning powder and the kermess in himself of the

movement of others

and the squall and the rising wind and the never orderly chaos

Man all flags flapping, clapping in the wind whispering from his pulsions

man who thrashes a parrot

who has no articulations

who breeds nothing

goat-man

crested man

spined

abridged

tufted man, galvanizing his rags,

man with secret props, spreading far from his degrading life


Desire barking in the dark is the multiform form of this being

Impulses scissored

forked

impulses radiating

impulses around the whole compass dial
