The Black Madonna
I. Fossati
I think of myself
that between going and returning
all the holy day
an hour to eat
an hour to sleep
I won't be able to see you for very long.
Then I think of you
bent over the desk
with a rose in front of you
which will be my
my spoiled one.
At the party on the tenth of July
which was almost evening
the Black Madonna
got stuck.
She came the authority with the railway
the whole sacristy
and the choir came with the melody
to save the gold and the silver
the marble and the cement
the bronze and the vestment
and the maintenance.
And from the traffic jam that there was
it was not possible to leave
until ten in the evening
when the Black Madonna
we pushing and pulling
crying and hoping
tilting and shouting we
she rose again.
I think of you
inclined on the desk
with a rose in front of it
which will be my own
withered rose.
Then I think of myself
that between going and returning
all the holy day
a 'time to eat
an hour to sleep
every single day
all the holy day
all the holy days
all the holy day
everyone the holy days
the whole holy day
And so be it.
SONG: THE DESERTER
B.Vian
In full power, distinguished President
the I am writing this letter which I hope you will read.
The postcard here tells me down to earth
to go to war this other Monday.
But I am not here, dear President
for killing people more or less like me.
I'm not angry with you, by the way
but I feel that I have made up my mind and that I will desert.
I've only had trouble since I born
and the children I raised cried together with me.
My mother and father are now underground
and they won't care about the war.
When I was in prison someone stole from me
my wife and my past, my best age.
Tomorrow I will get up and close the door
on the dead season and I will walk away.
I will live on charity on streets of Spain
of France and Brittany and I will shout at everyone
not to leave again and not to obey
to go and die for no matter who.
So if blood is needed at any cost
go and give yours, if it will amuse you.
And also tell your family if they come looking for me
that they can shoot me, I don't have any weapons.
