Breaks free from the pavement
Its first sounds,
Forgotten tongues, spring out
From the vowels holes
More luminous
Then
*
in the stream of the night
you go down the steps of the sleep
stone after stone
between the jaws
fears move
in an absurd way
*
hours were gathering together
and you were in a hurry
to come
we were nothing but
unknown souls
under the sky
we parted with each other
merry with fireworks
promises
like a dew of tears
being despaired in a well
*
under the branches
he builds up a palace
heaps of words and
wax
a cradle of children picked up
from the canal system
a song
of the still sadness
a silence
and a look
he is blinder
she is blinder
