The poet in the city
Advertise your ads
The department stores are cheerful;
But what turmoil in my soul
Is it evening or morning?.
I can hear the cars mooing
The brakeless phonograph
Meditation blinds me
And my steps no longer have a path.
The Trees of Time bend
They want to drink in the Seine.
Strange kings of France once upon a time
They bowed down to see them.
Pain follows like a shadow
We don't always think about it
The spirit emerged from the grave
A smile is the embodiment of love.
Max Jacob.
