I invented the colors of the vowels!

– A black,
E white,
I red,
U green,
O blue, –

I disciplined the shape and movement of each consonant,
and,
with instinctive rhythms,
I deluded myself into inventing a poetic verb accessible,
one day or another,
to all the senses.

I wrote silences,
nights,
I marked the unutterable.

I fixed vertigos.
