Mosaic of the forests, exclamation marks and wills, we shall leave you California.... We shall leave your deserts and your people.... We shall leave your sun and your automobiles.... If to fill up with gas is not enough, our bones will bloom in the sun and the vultures will feed on our flesh.... The straight road brandishes its sword towards the dry heart of mountains.... We are the road..... [This message has been edited by 2islander2 (10-08-2008 04:07 PM).] |

"our bones will bloom in the sun " That.... is beyond awesome. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Yann, you make exquisite, but powerful poetry - out of hard, ugly politics and economics - that flows with a biblical beauty and grandeur. Stunning! Beautiful! - Owl |

Thank you John for your kind comment, it depends but usually I write in french first and translate in english the poem...I use a web service for translating but have to do many corrections because it is only a machine and it doesn't mean anything sometimes....Thank you again and longing or your next poems.... best wishes yann |

Dear Yann, what YOU wrote made ME happy. It is a beautiful poem, and its calming cadence, in spite of its powerful message, is a perfect gift from you to us. Thank you. - Owl |
