#4223 prose poem

photo: Leaves speak the language of temperature. In all their autumn glory, they are telling me « the cold is coming ».

The light bends like a truth slightly guilty because of its harshness, while the leaves fall brilliantly. Why does my shadow tug at my sleeve to confide in me, to remind me of old stories I had buried so well? Yet we make peace for a while, just to crumple a few leaves in the last rays of light.

#4170 poetry

photo: Mount Royal, fall, light, some leaves fall, others remain, like friendships, but those that remain shine all the brighter

you have to know how to let

some memories evaporate

even if incarnated

in worn-out friendships

you look at them, you don’t want to let them gp

but they cannot be played over and over again

like old TV shows

of detectives wearing tired trench coats
