I was told I could tie it up   
this opaque and rancid death   
this bundle of fears hanging on our collar   
and which terrifies us   
as for the ideas with which we adorn it.         
 
To be the "me" accumulations   
the bloodless basin of moires and memories   
the envelope that we have worn   
a fortune that we spent   
so as not to die too soon.      
 
In the hope of a new science   
to prolong life   
to freeze for an indefinite period   
the body face to face with legal time   
we delay the irremediable.      
 
At the feast of life   
we invited the world of opposites   
desire something pleasant and fear losing it   
but not far from it
it's the debacle.    
 
Live from moment to moment   
without responsiveness to challenges   
hang small hardware   
ringing during the day, dissonant at night   
in promise of coming and going concerned.      
 
Loving the relationship   
by the direct reception of what is   
aware of the indescribable surprise   
to have to attend   
at the Sunrise.      
 
The world belongs to life   
death belongs to life   
this business of leaving and then coming back   
fills our calabash with experiences   
to nourish wisdom.      
 
Luce my sister Luce   
without fear without reproach 
escape from disease treatments   
be big    
facets open to cosmic energies.
