I.
Red. There you are!
Magenta.
I still have the will to go!
I will tread on strange lands
And whelm the rotten wastes.
M.
But peculiar!
You look quite feral now!
R. That's not I.
M. Then what is this?
R. A new representation of your Heart.
M. Are there more hearts?
R. No, just thine one.
M. How many are the representations?
R. Two, I and she.
M.
Then I'd guess she's from what I've gone through.
Whence one question arises: Where art thou from?
R.
I've been with you since your breath,
I am your protorepresentation.
And she is only secondary;
She shall be under my command --
Speaking of which, I'll take care of her.
M.
I will believe you, for it better be true.
My Heart! You never tell me what goes,
But if I don't understand what goes
In this world, it cannot be mine!
R.
I know by heart, O Vessel,
That you'd ignore what I'd tell you.
The solution is simple now:
We have to change this world
To fit your orthogonal rules.
M. Your words delect me.
II.
M.
Now, what do we with this remnant,
The former body I wore
That I will not associate with me?
R. Leave as. It's insignificant.
M.
Have you heard of a young German wanderer
Who burnt all his poem, for poems can't be
Mediocre but are only good or bad?
It's the same reason that I have nothing.
And I have never written a poem
But ramblings. You will remember
That I don't know music or poetry.
But my heart senses the rhythm and emotion
That we share on this world, O love...
R. Allons-y.
M.
My old body and womb!
That thou burn in the last day
And the ash reach the heavens
To smother the dégénérés!
For fresh air I walk on.
