Valentine for Pierre Reverdy and Max Jacob


Often in our youth
when we felt an anachronism
creep near
soon a god would step
out from behind the stony
curtain of the bodies
we loved through
in those days
now I feel had he said
by my own perceptions
which the past is full of
hundreds of years later
had and humbled
by our own youthful courage
which could only
carry us so far
