In order to make a star with five branches
Where six would have been the same
A circle must first be drawn
In order to make a star with five branches ...
A ring!
One did not take so many precautions
In order to make a tree from many branches
Trees that hide the stars
Trees!
You, full of nests and song birds
Covered with branches and leaves
That you lift as far as the stars!

Comments1WELL, I JUST READ SOMETHING BY ROBERT DESNOS... IT REALLY WASN'T MY CUP OF TEA IF I'M BEING HONNEST. FOUND THE WORDING A BIT TRICKY TO GRASP. NOT REALLY INTO POEMS THAT NEED A DEEP DIVE INTERPRETATION. NO OFFENSE TO DESNOS FANS OUT THERE, JUST AINT MY STYL.
