Looking into the eyes of Gerard de
You notice the giant sea crabs rising.

When you look into the eyes of Gerard de Nerval,
Always the same thing: the giant sea crabs,
The claws in their vague red
Moving around, a little doubtfully.2.

Is like throwing the editorial
Out into the
And then riding alone on the subway.
Also, it is like avoiding your father.
You are hiding and he looks for
Under each vine; he is coming
And nearer.

But ignore him?3.

Which is not important.
What is important is to
Looking too closely into the eyes of your father,
That formal eclipse.
