Case d’Armons – Mutation

Poem by Guillaume Apollinaire Collection CalligrammesPeriod 20th century

A woman who was weeping
Hey! Oh! Ha!
Soldiers who were passing
Hey! Oh! Ha!
A lock-keeper who was fishing
Hey! Oh! Ha!
The trenches that were turning white
Hey! Oh! Ha!
Shells that were exploding
Hey! Oh! Ha!
Matches that wouldn’t catch
And everything
Has changed so much
In me
Everything
Except my Love
Hey! Oh! Ha!
