In the Carpathian Mountains

A sorceress in the village

arranged her four-month-old son

on a chest. Chanted

"Here is your heart."

Genetic engineering in just two years

with the vocabulary of her ancestors–

an ambiguous concept.

Every nation proclaims the Csangos world

endless and ephemeral.
