LES CERFS-VOLANTS Poem by André Schmitz

LES CERFS-VOLANTS

Des cercueils volants sortaient du miroir.
(Dyane Léger)
Ce sont les âmes que l'on met en terre
et ce sont les corps qui montent au ciel
enveloppés de leur costume de bois pauvre.
Ainsi voit-on parfois des cercueils flotter
dans les airs comme de grands cerfs-volants

(auxquels aboient la nuit des chiens éberlués).
