On lacère sur l’épaule d’une pyramide
des formules avec A et B ;
on casse une branche du chêne
en hurlant « Sois femme !!! »
Cléopâtre
boit le venin
au goût de serpent
et jette du sang
sur la pomme d’Adam.
Un eunuque prie
au crocodile- idole
et le Nil coule lascif
sur les cuisses d’Aphrodite.
Avec un éventail en demi-cercle
on coupe les seins de Cléopâtre
en forme de croix.
another proffesional begger
the saxophone gathers up its dreams in match boxes
I could swear that I have memories only of you
flying our nights with sales hunting the presence
of a sure morning
an antropomorphic indian dance of pure dreams
inside one midnight
if we didn't know we could dream
would we dream?
and when I wish it to be true
one more time
just this once
the universe listens
and sends down its moons
wrapped up in sonatas
these fingers searching and searching
will they find me?
deep down
where the ropes end
where the light is thin
like a last breath
like a string
stretched beyond death
in a perfect tune
me,
this piece of wood
honey,
tonight I shall disappear
at 12.00 am sharp.
I shall leave behind
both my crystal shoes,
the keys to your palace,
one vague sense of disbelief
a couple of unwatched sunsets
a few piles of neatly folded silences,
the red roses you nearly bought on my birthday
and the corkscrew
which you will
most probably
need.
