La nuit (Microcosmos)
Bruno Coulais
Look at your feet
This funny world
Full of insane small creatures
cnd listen to
This buzzing chord
Who keenly spreads such strange murmurs
The sound's buzzing, swarming
Sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
On swarming grubs
On sliding ants
Open your eyes before you die
Sit on the grass
Observe and paint
The toad, the wasp, the dragonfly
The sound's buzzing, swarming
Sliding beetles, snails, and ladybirds
On spinning hearts and sliding ends.
Open your eyes before you die
Sit on the grass, observe, and paint
the daughter of the dragonfly
Soul son'rising, swirling, floating
Little snakes and ladybugs
