ANGEL by TRISTAN TZARA

Poem Explanation

First Line: COLOR RECOMPOSES / THE LIQUID HANGED MEN
Subject(s): DADAISM; JEWS; MYSTICISM - JUDAISM; JUDAISM;

color recomposes flows between the spaces
the liquid hanged men rainbow swing
worms of light in the vapor where our durations are visible
where the clarinets grow woman pregnant with satellites
the bell glides under the boat burning green ball
below the town flame bandages caress the centrifugal wound
squeeze squeeze tightly bellies' acids and plant
the feldspar gleams in the speed angel mechanic
on holiday windmill
mechanic of necrologies negro head
staging of the menageries and of friendships
then throws at her husband's head a bowl of vitriol
let's go to the other
meeeeeteeeeooooroooolooo-giies meterologies
the sun glides tangent of the atmosphere glide aureola
skating dimensions
