Women in love
Francis Poulenc
They have high shoulders
and a mischievous appearance
or else disconcerting expressions.
Confidence is in their chests
at the height where the dawn of their breasts rises
to undress the night.
They have eyes that could break pebbles,
and unconscious smiles.
For every dream,
squalls of shouting and snow,
and uprooted shadows.
One has to believe them by their kisses
and their words and their gazes,
and kiss only their kisses.
I show only your face,
the great storms of your bosom,
all that I know and all that I don't know,
my love... your love... your love... your love.
