pour Françoise
Larme venue au coin de l’œil
perler la paupière
broder le chagrin
lame venue au coin de la nuit
séparer ce qui formait nous
éloigner le je du tu
au singulier désormais
et dans l’entre la folie
aucun pluriel ne saurait nous redonner vie
For Françoise
Tear
drop come to eye-corner
beading
the eyelash
embroidering
the grief
blade
come to the night-corner
separating
what formed a “us”
keeping
away the I from the you
single
singular from now one
and
in between madness
no
plural would be able to give us birth again
Arresting images. Beautiful in both languages, particularly the French.
