"Surrealism is not a school of poetry but a movement of liberation ... A way of rediscovering the language of innocence, a renewal of the primordial pact, poetry is the basic text, the foundation of the human order. Surrealism is revolutionary because it is a return to the beginning of all beginnings."

-Octavio Paz

in the hideous love-making
of devils and whores,
the wind would kiss her breast
entwined their thin limbs
upon his brow; terrible, sweet.
I no longer felt myself,
in a sea, star-infused with a flock of doves.
backwards into sleep,
i hung there.
