from these miseries
hatches a miniseries
Jalg's tender ministries run
the Xedoc Codex

monkey-picked
pagan daya

in the snow-

vast and lifted
starve tsimtsum
keel
clasp of plunge
to assuage
stone



"He [Pessoa] was also attracted to the 'mystery' that Teixeira de Pascoaes identified as central to the saudosista creed, or 'a face que a vida não desvendou ainda ao nosso espirito' [the face that life still has not unmasked to our spirit]." --Darlene J Sadlier, An Introduction to Fernando Pessoa (1998)
