Middle Ages of long hair untouched by the wind
Provided there's wind you'll write Wind
mathematically precise Like the eye that has
properties of the nail Provided there's wind you'll write
your stories for her Measuring thickness longitude
velocity Saying into any old stranger's ear
that tonight the wind blows from the East
A glow of steeds and troubadours on the shores
of the highway Who hold and embellish
the wind's other words
Roberto Bolaño
