____________________________________________________

Out of the world

she will disturb the shadows with singing furrows

that the looks dotted with their stormy defeat

deep like the flower that would cover the earth

of a solitude of outstretched hand at the corner of a street

Tender in vain – rigid – the shame of refusal

no longer knows how to discover emerging homes

where death exhausts its painful tears

by dint of flourishing the oblivion of the survivors.

she removes the traps where rejecting the insult

locked lips that speak of a past

light and tender than serious slowness

of universes linked to the roots of childhood

…..

but present beauties of fine hair

plants that look like veins

of those who will come in the abundance of days

she only knows pain, she breaks poverty

among us eternal not knowing how to die

and no longer able to be she carries the weight

of the smile and the nudity of his presence

which the evening has already erased from the white hairs of his face.

Tristan TZARA
