To count the stones losing count
is the sense of our life: the algebra
of our displacements.
To follow paths losing sense
is the circumvolution, the evolution: the logic
of our moments. But. No.

is an incurable asymmetry.

It reshapes and hollows out the face, like sand
robs us of our flesh. — Piero Olmeda
