\nshe offered her excuses
\nfor the breath-loss at the circular staircase
\n(going up)<\/p>\n
\nTablada\u2019s haikus and the \u201cRac… Rac… Rac…\u201d
\njumped into the present<\/p>\n
\nat the staircase
\nhonking like geese
\nAl golpe del oro solar
\nsuspended in the panoramic splendour of a bird\u2019s flight<\/p>\n
\nthe words returned to me as a blast
\nbut what is death if not running through this concrete spiral without syncopated light,
\ncourageous respire<\/p>\n
