En mil neuf cent unÊtre un poète est
un malheurSurtout au temps de NelliganÀ MontréalC'était comme
être juif sous les nazisÊtre seul avec son
oiseau dans les mainsSon trésorEt marcher sur les
minesComme un espion en pays ennemiQui va sauter
au prochain pasPulvérisé dans les airsDans la folie
et dans la mortCe qui lui est d'ailleurs
arrivéChez lui tué par les siensL'indifférencePardon NelliganSache qu'iciPlusieurs
d'entre nous sans le direSecrètementTe prennent et te
portent sur nos épaulesComme au collègeOn te l'avait
fait un soir d'avrilEt on te reconduit chez
toiDans le temple des immortels
