Poems
The Star has wept rose-colour
The Kiss


The star has wept rose-colour in the heart of your ears,
The infinite rolled white from your nape to the small of your back
The sea has broken russet at your vermilion nipples,
And Man bled black at your royal side.


As translated by Oliver Bernard: Arthur Rimbaud, Collected Poems (1962)
