to catch in the course of an uncertain sentence
the words needed to reach
the love of a quiet surrender
at the beginning of each day

surprendre au détour
d’une phrase incertaine
les mots qu’il faut
pour atteindre l’amour
d’un renoncement tranquille
au début des jours
photo: a heron alone as a Sunday in Marahau
I was walking around the city
but I could hear my footsteps
like in my childhood Sundays
Everyone had gone home
for tea
Of course, we would have to
wait until Monday
to get back to life
In the fog of loyalty
shadows move
following a path that seemed
mapped out in advance but
instead reveals the limits
of its territory. Who are we?
And what does that mean?
to a wise eye and a sympathetic ear?

dans le brouillard de la loyauté
les ombres se meuvent en suivant
un chemin qui semblait tracé d’avance mais
révèle à la place les limites
de son territoire. Qui sommes-nous?
Et qu’est-ce que cela veut dire?
à l’oeil averti et à l’oreille tendue?
