#4270 poetry

Photo: Miyazu, Japanese garden, Nelson, a small garden that, under normal circumstances, seems inconspicuous, but which transforms in the spring, and it is then that one sees the Japanese art of creating an extraordinary dialogue between nature and human beings in all its splendor.

Short excerpt from a poem I published in La Nouvelle Barre du jour, nos 214-215

Struck with amazement at the mystery of language.

like the scent of cherry blossoms

What were you doing at that late hour? It was cold like in autumn.

but you will know how to respond when the time comes. that’s also part of it, two or three more lies.

Photo: Mapua, a moment of nature where colors and light are perfectly balanced.

For this extreme moment, when on a weekday the clean wooden floor would shine in the sunlight through the window, in a complete moment, which cost nothing, which was small in the great scheme of things, but perfect in the microcosm of seconds, you would need to find a language that could speak of this perfect moment.

photo: Mapua, a view for a peaceful moment

I just need to close my eyes

to hear the waves

see the clouds sleeping on top of the mountains

and the sky fill up with blue birds

I feel fine in my generous dreams

but I have to open my eyes again, look

at the storms of the world

the anger of the gods

live in the chaos of the earth

but I can also

close my eyes again and

lock myself in my head and my dreams

for a minute or two.
