POÈMES, etc...

Finding out

Perhaps we should forget what has become of us 

to remember 

instead 

the fluidity of youth on silent summer nights

when the ground itself 

resists

the temptation to absorb you

and you collide with the stars 

hoping for the brilliance 

to last

until you sleep

and find out in your dreams

that it’s gonna be a long shot.

Montagny, France, 2003
