Sometimes the road is long
sometimes one doesn’t realise it
and sometimes one doesn’t care about it.
sometimes the road is long
parfois la route est longue
parfois la route est longue
parfois on ne s’en aperçoit pas
et parfois on ne s’en préoccupe pas
like a cat that does not move
sometimes seconds are long,
like a cat that does not move,
until melting
in its shadow
while waiting for the next meal comme un chat qui ne bouge pas
parfois les secondes sont longues,
comme des chats qui ne bougent pas,
jusqu’à ce qu’ils se fondent
dans leur ombre
en attendant le prochain repas
sword of Damocles
To have a feast at arm's length, right there in front of you, the rich colors, the promise of flavors, then raising your eyes and seeing the sword of Damocles. You only have to reach out, but you withdraw your hand, you prefer hunger.
