And finally, give me at least some vodka to drink
And then puke because poets should be used.

Give me a broom to sweep the public square
Or a woman to love and impregnate.

Source: Request (1969)

Oh, if only we could catch this son of a bitch this world has invented for us.

I walk around and ask: where is my gallows?

I can't write a poem
For it to be like this body
body
I can't think.

Be with me from head to toe, from heel to ear
From knees to groin, from elbow to nails
Under the armpit, under the tongue, from the clitoris to the eyelashes
