“Gardens are poems
Where you stroll with your hands in your pockets.

(Les jardins sont des poemes
Ou l'on se promene les mains dans les poches.)”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
“...And we left the light
for the night of the street”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
“Who is that blond child laughing as he runs after his colored marbles? [my marbles]

It's me

And who is the poet writing this poem?

That blond child who laughed as he ran after his colored marbles”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology

The snow has given it absolution

A man who slips
A horse that falls

Oh no, the city is in a nightgown”

“Do you remember the long orphanage of the train stations

We crossed cities that turn-tabled all day

And vomited at night the sunshine of the day ("The Voyager")”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
“Oh you dear companions

Electric bells of the stations song of the reapers

Butcher's sleigh regiment of unnumbered streets

Cavalry of bridges nights livid with alcohol

The cities I've seen lived like mad women

(The Voyager)”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
“Do you remember the suburbs and the plaintive flock of landscapes

The cypress trees projected their shadows under the moon

That night when as summer waned I listened

To a languorous bird forever wroth

And the eternal noise of a river wide and dark

(The Voyager)”
Pierre Albert-Birot, The Cubist Poets in Paris: An Anthology
“If anything can be said in prose, then poetry should be saved for saying nothing.”
