Word's surface: gesture.

Gesture's surface: skin.

Skin's surface: shiver.

Against the current of blood

passion struggles to spawn;

against the current of speech

the word breaks the oar;

against the current of thought

the sails of dreams glide;

dog-paddling like a child, I swim

against the current of tears.
