I am the stone, Rimbaud, you are the sun in our Liopetri*,
you the wine, me the ship going to the harbour of love,
we are two stars joined by the celestial lace.
I catch the bullet they shot against you in Brussels,
they cut your leg, we walk together on three legs,
you lost your teeth, I chew the food to nourish you.
The Governor and Menelick B’ rob your money,
but then I exit from you as a flame and burn them;
I embark your half body, to have it buried in Nice; **
I’m proud of the other half that won the death.
I deregulate myself, reform it into a spring
to cool the lips of our desert, from Aden to Sudan.
You function in me, I function in you. I is you.

A wonderful expression in choicest words. I liked the line 'I am the ship for the harbour of love' and the 'heavenly lace' to tie the two. Deserves a full ten. Regards,
