It's You it is not us…
It's you it is not us it's the
fire that doesn't fear the wind
The kind that sweeps quicker
than wind over the countryside
A young girl shakes her black
hair in sleep
And watches us pass
And watches you pass it's you
it is not us
The genius of the well lowers
his magic blue hoop onto your path
It's no longer you is it you
its not us
There are doors for every precipice
Even for the ones we fall over
and all the way down there are birds
Birds that live only there
Whose wings form and X more
vibrant than any other
Where are you going the address
is grinding you I see fine nude legs
There are no precipices for
you
No fleeting oaths that glide
over resplendent waters
You are the light winding about
the necks of trees
The light that escapes no one
and that twists around the grindstone no one sees
Here is the sea here are the
races and rosacres you love
The eternal armor of snows
on the sea
The wet coupes whipped by the
red algae of long avenues
Here are the beautiful aiguillettes
Is it there do you want to
see the cross that never arises above sea-level
Do you want the forest of mirrors
furrowed with black lightning
That hides behind the northen
dawns
Do you attend the intimate coronations
of queens with no subjects
Or else do you come from the
serene pallor of mortal things
Like me questioning you and
seeking your arms like a flame through a grill
What grill the grill of time
What time the time of tears
Where are the shapes of leaves
of veils of huge butterfies that make the wind tremble
Where is the fire going the
fire that doesn't fear the wind
Andre Breton (1926)
