Vicente Huidobro
“Morning"

SUN

That awakens Paris

The highest poplar on the bank

On The Eiffel Tower
A tricolored cock
Sings to the flapping of his wings
and several feathers fall

As it resumes its course
The Seine looks between the bridges
For her old route

And the Obelisk
That has forgotten the Egyptian words
Has not blossomed this year

SUN”
― Vicente Huidobro, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
