In the white mountains
the salt will crack if cold
like in ancient times

dans les montagnes blanches
le sel craque quand le temps change
comme aux temps anciens
*d’abord mis en ligne en 2018
on laisserait la terre
se faire comme elle veut
on y passerait
sans y faire
trop de bruit dans le ciel bleu
bref on aurait
de bonnes manières
autant que faire se peut
we would leave the earth
do as she wants
we would go through it
without makingtoo much
noise in the blue sky
in short we be
well behaved
as much as possible
that hour of the morning
when the possibilities are parading
in the waves of awakening
and the wrinkles in the coffee
sometimes superhuman
at some other times, fragile
before fading in the sun
or hanging around in town
