THE DOOR BEATS
La por por porte por
The window
On the bitter smell of limurerre
Who reminds me of Milady de Winter
Smoothing his coat behind the diamonds of the rain
Brifrousse-brifrousses the floor is so old
That through it we see the fire of the earth
All the beauties at their backyard
Like the swallows
On the wires where I play in the drops
Of an unknown instrument
Oumyoblisoettist
At the heart of this knot of snakes
What is the cross, its four receding mouths hanging from the cardinal udders?
New York, 1942. André Breton.
