"this is excellent,"
i thought
as i watched you
from the clouds.

my feet were damp,
no
more like soaked,
and i coughed.

i was supposed
to stay healthy here.

you looked just
as weary
as when i left you,
and you were damn tired,
with your brittle
mousy brown hair
that framed your face
like a crooked doorway,
and your eyes
the ones that yellowed
with the same unforgiving
jaundice that
pains me.

i don't know
how you keep smiling
with your aching teeth
and your trembling step,
but you do.

i love your smile
i loved my smile then

ôte maintenant | tes souliers
et chausse à ton pied | quelque pelotes de nués
car ici désormais | est la demeure d'un ciel
