A tamed tree
by the curvature of the sun
drops its branches in the volcanic night,
on the floor a child contemplates the fall of stars
and collects with bare hands
comets hurt by distressing libraries,

wild and pale
his dreams then are nothing more
than horses terrified by the return of day..

Un arbre apprivoisé
par la rondeur du soleil
laisse tomber ses branches sur la nuit volcanique,
A même le sol un enfant contemple la chute des étoiles
et ramasse à mains nues
des comètes blessées par des bibliothèques navrantes,

sauvages et pâles
ses rêves ne sont plus alors
que des chevaux affolés par le retour du jour. .

You are indeed a stunning Poet, dear Yann.

The apocalyptic visions haunt us sometimes and on the break of day, opening our eyes, we can breathe again (... always hoping it was just a dream).

Love,
Margherita

thanks Margherita for the kind comment,some visions even apocalytic (not so much in my poem) can give birth to inspiration, thanks for the kind and generous comment,

Your pooems are taking on a flavor that I find appealing. Write on!

"than horses terrified by the return of day"

That was a profound line.

This is such a profound and beautifully written poem. You do wonderful work.

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Yann, je suis très heureuse de voir tes poèmes en français et en anglais tout à la même fois - et celui-ci est illuminé et coloré de la magique même!
