Winter
the very word
and its other way to deliver its meaning
when under your skin your bark no blood no sap
is in motion
winter
and the pillows still full
of unevaporated dreams
saying a prayer to the endless night
with unspoken syllables
snowing out from your mouth
while the dark freezes any attempt
of heating up a new beginning
Hiver
ce mot précisément
et
sa façon autre de signifier son sens
quand
sous ta peau ton écorce aucun sang aucune sève
ne
coule
hiver
et
les oreillers sont encore pleins
de
rêves inévaporés
disant
une prière à la nuit infinie
faite
de syllabes imprononcées
qui
neigent hors de ta bouche
alors
que l’obscurité gèle toute tentative
de réchauffer un nouveau commencement
perfectly captures the feeling of the longest night
