The Death of Père Ubu
(a poem for Adrian Henri)
I dreamed of a poet who died today
his words strangled in my throat
left paper imitations
to tease us
like clouds on imaginary landscapes
I dreamed of an artist who died today
images in dust
hang on a plaster wall
pictures of a place
illuminated by his light
I dream of a man who died today
breathed his city one last time
and then is carried shoulder high
through crowds
who cry his name
I dreamed that Ubu died today
