For Arthur
To start before the beginning
Before the earth embalmed me
A time when Cyparisse
Had not yet set root in my belly
Nor made sap of my blood
It was a time when it was possible
To speak to Panzaβs donkey
When I thought of Zanzibar
A time when the vagrancy of my soul
Had not yet embarked on its erratic itinerary
Plunging me eventually into the bright light
Of a tainted and squalid reality
