THE WORLD, EMPTIED
The world, emptied. No waters fill the river’s cleft. The sky so bird-less, and everybody left. The world, emptied. The forest’s numerous trees theft, the fires burned out, and everybody, everybody left.
The world, emptied. No warmth, no sweet chill on your skin, discomposed, you are, and everybody left within.

Apocalypse
The air darkened our faces. A gloomy patch of sky floated heavily above the city, threatening our minds. Our vulnerability alone became clearer as all that could be seen was obscurity. It embraced us, went straight into our veins, absorbing our flesh and sealing all thoughts.
Like the veil of blackness suddenly ripped from our faces, we saw the lightning reaching down on us like bare teeth....

Good day
I feel like telling you something: While barely knowing you, without having spoken much to you, I have the impression of knowing you intimately, and having spoken to you during long, sleepless nights.

Watch
step by step by step by (freshly written poem)
I walk
the stairs
in the dark,
feeling my way
down, unknowing
where the last step lays.
Someday I will loose my grip
for I will never see through darkness
and nothing will make me turn around.
by Louis Aragon
Rien n’est jamais acquis à l’homme Ni sa force Ni sa faiblesse ni son coeur Et quand il croit Ouvrir ses bras son ombre est celle d’une croix Et quand il croit serrer son bonheur il le broie Sa vie est un étrange et douloureux divorce Il n’y a pas d’amour heureux
