"Sequence"
To sleep, with the moon in one eye and the sun in the other,

Love in your mouth, a lovely bird in your hair,

Adorned like the fields, the woods, the routes, the sea,

Around the whole world so lovely and adorned.

Flee across the landscape

Through branches of smoke and all the fruits of the wind,

Stone legs with sand stockings,

Held by the waist, all the river's muscles,

And the last concern on a face transformed.

-Paul Èluard
