Robinson On the sea dead near a fiery sleep The siren with trees uprooted which floats Cast its shadow on chest and lower back The slap of the waves reveals one drowned The index clue of fishes' rushed night wandering When salt-water runs from shells and iron stakes The masts with flowers and livid clouds loaded straining Flapping on the beach where they come sleep, they summered Magnetized by death the astrolabes and battens And the barrels of rum against the cliffs have rolled Near dirty tables and glasses badly washed The spice of coffee in the plains surprised Does not reflect in this swarm any lion crawling Banally dressed up in silk in crimson in gold The forest has lost the smile of the grasses And the shepherds nibble their whistles of elder Sightseers girls and assiduous painters Abandon towns where they no longer bray Since which the murderer has lost his suspenders In the leaden dungeons where none have gone astray
