I was scribbling in the sun
you
had sand between the toes
and the silence of the water
we won't die from the heart
#2091 poesie
je gribouillais sous le soleil
toi
du sable entre les orteils
et le silence de l’eau
nous ne mourrons pas du coeur
#2090 poetry
we sang in silence
tunes that said nothing
we sighed with fatigue and ease
at the end of sticky days
but time hardly passed
and we weren't moving forward
we were waiting to be grown up
so we could start living
but didn't know then
that we were already living
in the eternity of the moment
#2090 poesie
on chantait en silence
des airs qui ne disaient rien
on soupirait de fatigue et d’aise
à la fin de jours collants
mais le temps ne passait guère
et on n’avançait pas
on attendait d’être grands
pour commencer à vivre
on ne savait pas
qu’on vivait déjà
dans l’éternité de l’instant
#2089 poetry (haiku*)
holding your breath
every time a car passes
the world we live in
