THE DOOR
The door, the door, the door
The window
On the bitter smell of the limurerre
Who reminds me of Milady de Winter
Smoothing his hair behind the diamonds of the rain
Brifrouse-brifrousses the floor is so old
Through it, one can see the fire of the earth
All the beauties at their coumicouroir
Like the swallows
On the wires where I play in the drops
From an unknown instrument
Oumyoblisoettiste
At the heart of this knot of snakes
What is the cross, its four fleeing mouths suspended from the cardinal points?.
New York, 1942. André Breton.
