Analysis of The horoscope of the glances (Chet Baker)

ubik 1969 (spain)



Nobody safeguards
all decisions of the light

between rosy breaths
of the invisible
fickle is the intimacy sacrificed
in a world of endless leaks

like obscene phosphorescence
of a trumpet
orbiting the astral muteness
aquarium

bifida mane of the second
whose perverse obsolescence
we turn into a puff of grass
