visage dans le miroir

between the quest and the star of hopes

between the mind and the dissipating reflection in the mirror

the cradle of dreams arches high, a vision of worlds yet to come -

a music in different keys, flashes of light, waves of love,

territories yet uncharted, a journey (necessary) -

no easy solutions,

no simple denouement to this story; 

choices, attitudes, a merry-go-round of

blessings and little joys spinning in the mist,

in the dark corridor between your thoughts

and le mur des lamentations.

can’t you see how pain

slices open the hours 

a row of gutted fish in a sunday market?

are you still looking for truth?


go away, leave, 

spread your wings inward and

let your clumsy flight slash your heart: 

butterfly trapped in a bottle…
