King's-heart. Core of a high
ruler-tree. Balsam-fruit. Golden heart-nut. Urn-poppy in the center of the central shrine (where the echo rebounds, like a splinter of silence, when you make a movement because you can feel that the way you were standing was a little too noisy...), removed from the nations, star-inclined, in invisible orbits orbiting king's heart. Where has it gone, the heart of the gentle Beloved? : Smile, from outside placed on the hesitant roundness of cheerful fruits; or, it may be, the moth's preciousness, gauze-wing, feeler... Where, though, where is the heart that sang them both into oneness, the poet's-heart? : Wind invisible, wind's-inside.
