The holder of wings

I met you a long time ago

It was already so, from the first day

The space swivelled accelerating

The enormous masses were born in an instant

The gaping sun, the shadowy friends lavished

How many years now?

Since then I have shortened my days

I have dispersed the time of the origin

The elongated shadows occupied my night

I still let the mists graze the future with my back turned

What I have read heard seen merge, move away a little more

I was indifferent to catastrophes, I smiled at nothing

I drew portraits of the smell of corridors without a door

You did tear off my second skin under a transparent hood

To see the multitude faces of me

Asking:

Be the holder of wings

More faces, less figures

The face is the most human of things. Man has a face and not simply a muzzle or a front, because he dwells in openness, because in his face he exposes himself and communicates. This is why the face is the place of politics. Our unpolitical time does not want to see its own face, it keeps it at a distance, masks and covers it. There must be no more faces, but only numbers and figures. The tyrant, too, is faceless…[…]For us, alone, there can be no salvation: there is salvation because there are others. Giorgio Agamben
