Just with the smile of the Mona Lisa

 


Donne
ogive de printemps
au rebond des notes du piano.

De pleines fougères
manduquent l'ombre et la lumière.

Par la travée
le jour paraît.

En leurs gravats de nuit
les souvenirs émergent.

Pierre de sel
contre la rambarde
il jouait du flûtiau
l'homme au masque neutre
en ses haillons
mixed with the peat of words.

Of the sculptural tower
his gray hair escaped
weary scents
and dry copses
on the rungs of the ladder
climbed in small leaps
the laughter of the blood of things
to whispers
from the plain far away
faltering
with both hands
retaining grass silage
in the box of dreams
with sooty preparations
of the sweet reflux of the gnosis emitted
solitaire
on the greasy pavement of the lifts
my soul with many impulses
gathered
dirty fingernails
salacious lighting
she gave everyone
looking down
allusions to kisses
than the compassionate spider
was splashing
in small spurts of the mind
on the mirror
at the back of the room
you two-tone
young woman in charming clothes
that the round table grasped
by scattered plates
on the forecourt of sage algae
to happy puffins
lifted by the sea wind
leaving for the pearl oyster
appetizers of theater outings.

The dream marries the plots of the plateau
where to pass the words
just looking for a little happiness
just with the smile of the Mona Lisa.
