Zwei Trichter wandeln durch die Nacht.
Durch ihres Rumpfs verengten Schacht
       fließt weißes Mondlicht
            still und heiter
                auf ihren
                 Waldweg
                   u.s.

Les entonnoirs

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Deux entonnoirs se promènent dans la nuit.
Par l'étroit goulot de leurs corps
    s'écoule un blanc rayon de lune
        silencieux et serein
            sur leur sentier
                forestier
                    e.t.
                     c.
