FUNERAL POEM

To Guillaume Apollinaire.

The fancy bird has changed its star

Rig low to the storm of tears

Your coffin with veil

Where the instrument of enchantment departs


In the vegetation of memories

The hours around us make the trips


Goes fast

           It goes fast pushed by the sighs

The sea is laden with shipwrecks

And I have upholstered the sea for its passage


This is the

This is this primordial trip without a ticket

 The instructive and secret journey

Through the corridors of the wind


The clouds part so I can pass

And the stars light up to show the way


What are you looking for in the pockets of your jacket?

Have you lost the key?


In the midst of this heavenly hum

You find yourself everywhere with the aging hours


The wind is black and there are stalactites in my voice

Tell me Guillaume

Have you lost the key to infinity?


An impatient star will say he's cold

The sharp rain begins to sew the night
