Let's get our dreams unstuckA
-
The grain of ryeB
free from the prattle of grassC
et loin de arbres orateursC
-
IB
-
plantD
-
it-
-
It will sproutE
-
-
But forget aboutE
the rustic festivitiesC
-
For the explosive wordF
falls harmlesslyG
eternal throughH
the compact generationsC
-
and except for youH
-
nothingI
denotatesC
-
its sweet scented dynamiteJ
-
GreetingsC
I discard eloquenceC
the empty sailK
and the swollen sailK
which cause the shipL
to lose her courseC
-
My ink nicksC
and thereM
-
and thereM
-
and thereM
-
andN
thereM
-
sleepsC
deep poetryG
-
The mirror paneled wardrobeO
washing down ice floesC
the little eskimo girlP
-
dreamingI
in a heapQ
of moist negroesC
her nose wasC
flattenedN
against the window paneR
of dreary ChristmasesC
-
A white bearM
adorned with chromatic moireM
-
dries himself in the midnight sunS
-
LinersC
-
The huge luxury itemT
-
Slowly foundersC
all its lights aglowU
-
and soU
sinks the evening dress ballV
into the thousand mirrorsC
of the palace hotelW
-
And nowX
it is IB
-
the thin Columbus of phenomenaY
aloneZ
in the frontA2
of a mirror paneled wardrobeO
full of linenS
and locking with a keyG
-
The obstinate minerM
of the voidB2
exploitsC
his fertile mineC2
-
the potential in the roughD2
glitters thereM
mingling with its white rockE2
-
OhU
princess of the mad sleepQ
listen to my hornF2
and my pack of houndsC
-
I deliver youH
from the forestG2
where we came upon the spellW
-
Here we areM
by the penH2
one with the otherM
weddedI2
on the pageJ2
-
Isles sobs of AriadneG
-
AriadnesC
dragging alongK2
Aridnes sealsC
-
for I betray you my fair stanzasC
toH
run and awakenS
elsewhereM
-
I plan no architectureM
-
SimplyG
deafL2
like you BeethovenS
-
blindM2
like youH
HomerM
numberless old manN2
-
born everywhereM
-
I elaborateO2
in the prairies of innerM
silenceC
-
and the work of the missionS
and the poem of the workP2
and the stanza of the poemT
and the group of the stanzaC
and the words of the groupQ2
and the letters of the wordF
and the leastR2
loop of the lettersC
-
it's your footS2
of attentive satinS
that I place in positionS
pinkT2
tightrope walkerM
sucked up by the voidB2
-
to the left to the rightJ
the god gives a shakeU2
and I walkV2
towards the other sideW2
with infinite precautionS
