KELADINE


Fast
With a tick beat of wings
Like a wind on the mountains
Like a storm over the sea
They lead you on the gloomy earth
You, who don't bear death
On your face

Rapid
They vibrate their wings
Among rustling leaves
Their light glides on the salty sea
Overwhelming all the stars
They lead you on the dusky earth,
Immortal face

Graceful
They relax their wings
Filling the celestial air
Your eyes blind with light
Your arms like waves
Breaking on the shore
You, who don't bear death
On your face

Strange things happen where she is
So that men say that graves open
She has travelled on the earth
She has lived on a hundred towns
She has lived on a thousand islands
Strange things happen where she is
So that man say that graves open...
