- The mineral springs are dry. The gold mines are exhausted;
the roof/ribs collapse one after another.
What once was enriching, is now impoverished -


- Our open grave is a wound in the Earth --
to be buries is to be covered 
by a scab of soil -


- For the prisoner the day breaks out earlier 
or the prisoner merely observes it earlier.
The prisoner can guess nothing about the times -


- The border is a barbed-wire rosary;
each bead is a surveillance station along the way.
There is no escape from the guard-dogs -


- What the detective detects can detect him.
This reflection of detection is symmetrical;
surveillance is subversion --
to counter surveillance, counter-subvert -


- A white ambulance in the snowfall.
Trains are coming from far, their roofs are crusted by snow.
Somewhere it had been snowing; perhaps it also snows just now.
You can be rescued -
