We can take you anywhere you want to go. How about New Mexico? Isn't that where you're going? To visit Carol Sturka? We could get you there by nightfall. We can even transport your car. We know how much it means to you.

To Please Her

To please her, I have lived my life. Reaching

the final limit of my powers, I still seek to

imagine ways to please her:

She likes to tear silk: I will give her a hundred

feet of sonorous fabric. But its cry is no lon-

ger enough.

She likes to see wine flow & people drunk: but

wine is not pungent enough & its vapors no

longer dizzy her.

To please her, I will tender my worn-out soul: as

it tears, it will under her fingers.

And I will pour out my blood like liquor from a

goatskin:

One smile, then, will bend down upon me.

- Victor Segalen, Stèles (1912)
