FIRST DAY: Poetry, by Jacques Prévert

FIRST DAY

White sheets in a closet,

red sheets in a bed.

A child in a mother,

the mother in pain.

The father in front of the room,

room in the house.

The house in the city,

the city in the night.

Death in a cry,

and his son in life.

(Jacques Préverts)
