Demons and wonders

winds and tides

Already the sea has withdrawn far away

And you

Like seaweed softly caressed by the wind

On a sandy bed you stir as you dream

Demons and wonders

Winds and tides

Already the sea has withdrawn far away

But in your half-open eyes

Two little waves stayed behind

Demons and wonders

Winds and tides

Two little waves to drown me.

--Jacques Prévert "Quicksand"
