turn and spin, turn needles of clocks
died in the silence of oranges and churches
you will find on the loving carnations
the black blackbirds which come in the evening for playing,

There were so many doubts under the blacks hats
as they let leave the loving children
by delaying the hour to be happy
with a single star fallen in a glass of water.

Cry oranges become bitter and alone
of the scale of the hands which come to surprise you
to offer your colors to the magnificent suns,

The hours spin that it snows or that I lie,
the child understood everything of the time which itches him,
the earth has sense only with the shade of oranges.

Tournez, tournez aiguilles des horloges mortes
dans le silence des oranges et des églises
vous trouverez sur les œillets amoureux
les merles noirs qui viennent au soir s’enflammer,

Il y eut tant de doutes sous les noirs chapeaux
qu’ils ont laissé partir les enfants capricieux
en retardant l’heure d’être trop heureux
d’une seule étoile tombée dans un verre d’eau.

Pleurez oranges devenues amères et seules
de l’ampleur des mains qui viennent vous attendre
pour offrir vos couleurs aux superbes soleils,

les heures filent qu’il neige ou que je mente,
l’enfant a tout compris du temps qui le démange,
la terre n’a de sens qu’à l’ombre des oranges.

yann,

I am so pleased that I stopped in. I feel as if I have stood before paintings that spoke to me. Bilingual paintings at that - they are beautiful in French and English. You have shared your talent, which I believe goes far beyond your writing. You see in a way that few of us do. When you show us your world, it pulses and it is alive.

Loving this trilogy. Is there more fruit in the bowl?

I have plunged into your stunning visions, I turned and spinned and now I am meditating under the orange tree ...

Truly fantastic work, dear Yann.

You created scenes to linger in ...

Love,
Margherita
