A Few People I Know

Visible in the ashes of the day
I live, busily writing verses,
like the rain that leaves
in the vertigo of a swing
the crowd of its cascade.

Tell them not to insist
that the truth is dead,
and that they will never know
who I am.

I refuse to admire
the same monuments
and to sing the same songs
that they sing.

they invade me with sadness.
