You go back quickly to your coldness.

And since you have no colours on your clothes,

You walk in straight and measured lilts

As befits the seriously blind.

Your women do not stroll as though

Each step were a timid intrigue

Woven into the climax to which they fare.

Pistols, rhapsodies and heavy odours

Drugged the lustre of my time.

Yet, we had a virtue.
