Béatrice Machet # tear drop - for Françoise



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
