Sketch of Prévert
in the rain, which is your blood
you wander unhappy by France
blurring the face
of birds and imprisoning them
in drawing ink cages
you look for Barbara
armed with a paper rifle
firing blanks
in the drama theatre
your lungs contain
the final act
and you drop the curtain
Boceto de Prévert
Bajo la lluvia, que es tu sangre.
Vagas inconforme por Francia
Desdibujando el rostro de las aves
Y encerrándolas en jaulas de tinta.
Buscas a Bárbara armado
con un fusil de papel
Disparando balas de salva
en un teatro dramático
Tus pulmones encierran
el último acto.
Y bajas el telón.
