The Ivory Tower In shelter of oaks covered in vermin The oaks covered in the vermin of death A violet shadow separates the decline of horizons Since the dawning of humans In these trees' shelter one does not render justice Since this justice is a falcon Which wanders the night to fall asleep in chambers full of love The deathly chambers of newly born infants Disguised stretching the hand insalubrious Of the poor who despair of the enclosure's darkness The riot-police roaring with joy prepping their handcuffs As icy as a church steeple They must already expect the street-arrayed crowd's rumbling popular ball Oh Justice oh justice It will all end well with sputtering with coughing Cat lost behind the slimiest stone paving Lamentable window opening only to extinguish The glows which brush cross the length of impulsive bodies Demanding the way in their long reverberating cries During which the agents all become bald During which chapels' stained glass are all shattered Under pressure of women's grasping hands which are never clean And for all whom the boulevard was only passion Ask of them the way and back they will not answer Exiled shoulder in the unending night Mines of strangled shadows The stars spout forth with sparks of a far distant vagueness It rains down so breathlessly A raptor pounces on a confused dancer The space is muted with suppleness above the metallic forests Where the musical ravens take flight of approaching cold Beyond the rapid palpitations of the moors Pinned down on the ground by the menhirs Scarecrows of sketched in or dispersing dead clouds Beyond the polished virginity of deserts where the sun is laid down to sleep The ennui of this day is set down Covered with seconds like a lice-ridden priest Carcasses of these monsters devastated Out from within their piled dust escapes birds gilded and white Gladness of feathers swiftness of wings Strings of jewels evade the gazing eyes of lovers Intense flames napes of transparent necks Chest's softness of stars' torsos Vigilant guardians so the dawn caress Crystalline dawn perpetual dawn Panther of polished blue Love born of meetings an octopus eats a rainbow A perfumed owl sheltered by its wing Some Ironic phantoms and their partners in crime The darkening hills of duty must crumble in quavering fatigue Once more the crepuscule which is dispersed in the night After having scrawled upon the walls IT IS FORBIDDEN TO DREAM
