Nelson, 2021, Sylvie GE
Where were we?
It was time for memories
and nostalgic laughs
we we were starting again and
again true stories
and others that we were making up Where were we?
Ou en etions-nous ?
Où en étions-nous ?
à l’heure des souvenirs,
des rigolades nostalgiques,
on recommençait
des histoires vraies
et d’autres qu’on inventait
haiku
slowing down the body
and laying down your weapons
before falling asleep haiku
slow down the body
put the weapons down before
you fall sleep let go*
let go of things
all the way, with the winds
and they organize themselves
like spring
