Would you seeA
The dark form of the sunB
The contours of lifeC
Or be truly dazzledD
By the fire that fuses allE
The flame conveyer of modestiesA
In flesh in gold that fine gestureF
-
Error is as unknownG
As the limits of springH
The temptation prodigiousA
All touches all travels youI
At first it was only a thunder of incenseA
Which you love the moreJ
The fine praise at fourJ
Lovely motionless nudeK
Violin mute but palpableL
I speak to you of seeingH
-
I will speak to you of your eyesA
Be faceless if you wishM
Of their unwilling colourJ
Of luminous stonesA
ColourlessA
Before the man you conquerJ
His blind enthusiasmN
Reigns naively like a springH
In the desertO
-
Between the sands of night and the waves of dayP
Between earth and waterJ
No ripple to eraseA
No road possibleL
-
Between your eyes and the images I see thereJ
Is all of which I thinkQ
Myself inderacinableL
Like a plant which masses itselfR
Which simulates rock among other rocksA
That I carry for certainB
You all entireJ
All that you gaze atS
AllL
-
This is a boatT
That sails a sweet riverJ
It carries playful womenB
And patient grainU
This is a horse descending the hillL
Or perhaps a flame risingH
A great barefooted laugh in a wretched heartV
An autumn height of soothing verdureJ
A bird that persists in folding its wings in its nestW
A morning that scatters the reddened lightX
To waken the fieldsA
This is a parasolL
And this the dressA
Of a lace maker more seductive than a bouquetP
Of the bell sounds of the rainbowY
-
This thwarts immensityP
This has never enough spaceA
Welcome is always elsewhereJ
With the lightning and the floodP
That accompany itP
Of medusas and firesA
Marvellously obligingH
They destroy the scaffoldingH
Topped by a sad coloured flagZ
A bounded starJ
Whose fingers are paralysedP
-
I speak of seeing youI
I know you livingH
All exists all is visibleL
There is no fleck of night in your eyesA
-
I see by a light exclusively yoursA
