photo : Havana, always busy
The day was dissolving
into the evening news:
dreams stripped
of their misty
cover, one would have to take refuge
under the stairs.
This was expected
but not all the noise
on the city’s cobblestones.

La Havane, toujours occupée
Le jour se dissolvait
dans les infos du soir :
rêves dépouillés
de leur enveloppe
Vaporeuse, il faudrait se réfugier.
sous les escaliers.
On s’attendait à cela
mais pas à tout ce bruit
sur les pavés de la ville.
photo : Ottawa River. This ghostly vision spontaneously inspired a(n almost) rhymed poem in French (not so much in English though) :
We found the ghosts/
where we had placed them/
in the river of our dreams/
where they fell asleep/
listening our lies/
but the music was nice/

photo : rivière des Outaouais cette vision fantômatique a donné lieu spontanément au poème rimé ci-dessous :
on a retrouvé nos fantômes/
là où on les avait mis/
dans la rivière de nos songes/
où ils se sont endormis/
en écoutant nos mensonges/
mais la musique était jolie/
