I Have Too Many Words
I have too many words:
Needle, sewing thread, scissors, stove.
I have too many words:
Vermouth, potatoes, olives.
Very short words, pine,
Very long words, sternocleidomastoid,
Very easy words, mama,
Difficult words, obliquity... and what do I know.
I lack words to explain what it means to me.
I lack words...
The dictionaries are full of free and true words,
Simple and tender words of love.
She had two moons on her whole face,
She opened and closed them,
And she had the two faces of the moon,
One white and the other dark.
I have too many words but I have nothing to say
Corpse, smurf.
I have too many words,
In two years I retire.
Very ugly words, new,
Very beautiful words, lapis lazuli,
Provisional words with the accents turned.
She had two moons on her whole face,
She opened and closed them,
And she had the two faces of the moon,
One white and the other dark.
She had two moons on her whole face,
She opened and closed them.
