Sliding Trombone - Surrealist Poem by Dessaignes

Surrealist poem by
I have a little windmill on my head
Which draws up water to my mouth and eyes
When I am hungry or moved to tears
I have a little horn full of the odour of absinth in my ears
And on my nose a green parakeet that flaps its wings
And cries ' Aux Armes '
When from the sky fall the seeds of the sun
The absence from the heart of steel
At the bottom of the boneless and stagnant realities
Is partial to crazy sea-fish
I am the captain and the alsatian of the cinema
I have in my belly a little agricultural machine
That reaps and binds electric flex
The cocoanuts thrown by the melancholy monkey
Fall like spittle into the water
Where they blossom again like petunias
I have in my stomach an ocarina and I have virginal faith
I feed my poet on the feet of a pianist
Whose teeth are even and uneven
And sad Sunday evenings
I throw my morganatic dreams
To the loving turtle-doves who laugh like hell.

Hi Sandra, yes, surrealist poetry is different and obscure.

@sandrateager

That is not my real accent.

[sandrateager]

Somehow --i had a feeling you were using a different accent this time!!! =)

[aartvegan]

Hi Sandra, on my previous talking videos you can hear my real accent.

That was interesting.

Though a little over my head. I don't know surrealist poetry.

[aartvegan]

Yes, surrealist poetry is obscure.

 It's the only poetry i can relate to.
