When in all the clocks
It is two minutes
Past twelve
Suddenly
The pendulum became motionless
The silent reptile of the stupefied wall
Also did not know
In the darkness of whose fist
Fell asleep
A firefly
When the blow of the conch
Died down
The petrified people
Looked opening their eyes
The water spout of sunshine
Is growing taller
By the other side of the eyes
Of the electrified people
Suddenly escaped
An ivory white bird
No one heard
Its bluish voice
