Sudden Tears
…and Rimbaudβs limb being so caught up goes be-bopping out the door into the forest through the trees β raga rag in the grass overturning picnic baskets whizzing past churchyard gates right in step it genuflects then aims and leaps over the scene over the rainbow out of the canvas into space pure spaceβas remote and colorless as dear arthurβs face. a face made incorporealΒ full of grace.Β sunken eyesβthose cobalt treasures closed forever.
clenched fist relaxed wrist
his pipe turned in…
out in the garden the children are gathering
itβs not a whim. they are accurate immaculate,
as cruel as him.
they sing:
legs canβt flail
cock canβt ball
teeth canβt bare
baby canβt crawl
rimbaud rimbaud facing the wall
cold as hail dead as a doornail
sudden tears!
Excerpt from the poem Rimbaud Dead, by Patti Smith
