At noon I sit down, I dip the nib in the inkpot and look for you in writing. I do not care what the people around me say, be it right or wrong, about me digging in the abyss. You are both my saviour and my curse at the same time. I feel your breath close to the nape of my neck, when with my eyes I plunge into the twilight and, I simply know we have the same thought. I reach to let you take the scarlet drops of the ink that are trickling on the page. I reach, but you evaporate when, at dawn, the editors drive a stake into the heart of the manuscript. At noon I perfume my imagination again, hoping that you'll bite it, to make me immortal.

A fight with samurais. The sheaths blunt. One stabs another. The third stabs the first. Oh, but what a shame. His wittle finger is wounded, he gets infected. He is on the brink of dying. That's the way I like it. Next time. The fight is fought by columns. One stabs the other. Bah, I'll teach ya a lesson. He stabs another one again. Ups, he was a friend of mine. Sorry, does it hurt? In my hands you'll easily get it over with. Sometimes a little heart. Sometimes a smiling, giggling face. My respects, lady. Sir. That's what I'm sayin'. Fiends these people. You give'ema bone. They put their claws on it. They say it's theirs. They leave you alone.
