To Be Followed 4

In open schools,
On the laziness of orange trees,
On the beds of straw,
I’m looking for it,

In the naked mills,
On the guest books,
On the square roofs,
I’m looking for it,

Under the sheets of Sunday,
On the tars that melt,
On the white spices,
I’m looking for it,

On the defeated facades,
The distant sails,
On the sweet vines,
I’m looking for it,






Dans les écoles ouvertes,
Sur la paresse des orangers,
Sur les lits de paille,
Je le cherche,

Dans les moulins dévêtus,
Sur les livres d’or,
Sur les toits carrés,
Je le cherche,

Sous les draps du dimanche,
Sur les goudrons qui fondent,
Sur les épices blanches,
Je le cherche,

Sur les façades vaincues,
Les voiles éloignées,
Sur les vignes sucrées,
Je le cherche,

I think you could go on and on with places to look. Very poetic all these four parts are.
