From Arthur Rimbaud (Opus 75)

Each of you is younger younger
In your stomachs devilish hunger
Walking so you follow after….
Glancing backwards
I cast a proud call
This curtailed caterwaul!
We will swallow stones and grasses
Poisons bitterness molasses
Stuff our mouths with emptiness
Depth and height we will consume
Birds beasts monsters fish and glue
Wind clay salt and ripples too!
Each of you is younger younger
In your stomachs devilish hunger
All things on our path we meet
May comprise our daily meat.
