Phillipe Soupault and Erna Niemeyer-Richter, Berlin, 1934
SPORT ARTICLES
Courageous like a stamp
he went his way
tapping softly in his hands
to count his steps
his heart red as a boar
beat beat
like a pink green butterfly
Now and then
he planted a little satin flag
When he had walked a lot
he sat down to rest
and fell asleep
But since that day there have been many clouds in the sky
many birds in the trees
and there's been a lot of salt in the sea
There also have been lots of other things
Philippe Soupault, translated by Johannes Beilharz
