History as Crescent Moon
The horns
of a bull
— who was placed
before a mirror at the beginning
of human time;
in his fury _
at the challenge of his double,
he has, from
that time to this,
been throwing himself against
the mirror, until
by now it is
shivered into millions of pieces —
here an eye, there
a hoof or a tuft
of hair; here a small wet shard made
entireÌy of tears.
And up there, below the spilt miÏk of
the stars, one
silver splinter—
parenthesis at the cÏlose of a long sentence,
new cCrescent,
beside it, red
asterisk of
Mars
