Among the faces of the forest
there is Death, with its walkie-talkies,
gargling, jumping and praying,
shaking the nocturnal mystery of the night.
It looks like your eyes when
they are closed,
like your mouth that, sleeping, murmurs,
like my absence so near to you,
like a bird that sang and then fell dead.
All the jungle has a savage
power
and man, profaning its green statue,
adds to it a mournful angle, cold and mortal. |
