Taro

Thursday, July 23, 2015
Indochina, 
Capa jumps jeep, two feets creep up the road 
To photo, to record, meat lumps and war 
They advance as does his chance 
Very yellow white flash! 
A violent wrench grips mass, rips light, tears limbs like rags 
Burst so high finally Capa lands 
Mine is a watery pit 
Painless with immense distance 
From medic, from colleague, friend, enemy, foe, him five yards from his leg 
From you, Taro 

Do not spray into eyes - I have sprayed you into my eyes 

3:10pm 
Capa pends death, quivers, last rattles, last chokes 
All colours and cares glaze to grey 
Shriveled and stricken to dots 
The left hand grasps what the body grasps not 
Le photographe est mort 
3.1415, alive no longer my amour 
Faded for home May of '54 
Doors open like arms, my love 
Painless with a great closeness 
To Capa, to Capa Capa dark after nothing, reunited with his leg 
And with you, Taro 

Do not spray into eyes - I have sprayed you into my eyes
