Approaches:
The structure of this poem is visually interesting a each verse the lines get longer by a syllable and then shorter again.
Extract:
Murs, ville,
Et port,
Asile
De mort,
Mer grise
Où brise
La brise,
Tout dort.
Dans la plaine
Naît un bruit.
C'est l'haleine
De la nuit.
Elle brame
Comme une âme
Qu'une flamme
Toujours suit !
