I fled, a fortunate fugitive,
Lying with the work of one alive
The day and the night unfurled in the presence
of mobile wings - algae - leaves.
Greetings forger of gigantic dragonflies
Diviner of mercury your fountain revealed
A water heavy as tears.
But a carousel of little crimson moons thrills me
It brings to mind a translucent circus
It is a leaf traversed by the sun.
One green day you saw a red bird
in pursuit of a yellow bird; you Calder know that we are bound to nature
that we belong to the earth.
