Green Integer Review 9, Ricardo Domeneck [Brazil/lives Germany]

let me fashion
you a fable
or a borderline
between collapse
and inflation
for the single point
a theory
of everything
what is the question
to your answer
like the monotony
of Ravel’s
Bolero’s
history against climax
& coldness becomes
you as the vector
to barrenness
unless we
install the cycle
where the legend
drowns & lets a body
erect the summer

let me answer
you a question
or a climax
between legend
and history
for the collapse point
a monotony
of coldness
what is the fable
to your fashion
like the summer
of Ravel’s
Bolero’s
vector against a body
& cycle becomes
you as the barrenness
to single
unless we
install the inflation
where the theory
drowns & lets a borderline
erect everything

let me collapse
you a climax
or a summer
between a body
and monotony
for the answer point
a question
of vector
what is the cycle
to your theory
like the barrenness
of Ravel’s
Bolero’s
single against inflation
& fable becomes
you as the borderline
to fashion
unless we
install the history
where everything
drowns & lets a coldness
erect the legend

let me single
you an everything
or a barrenness
between vector
and collapse
for the summer point
a history
of climax
what is the borderline
to your body
like the inflation
of Ravel’s
Bolero’s
theory against fable

unless we
