appel à la terre;


appel à la terre

appel à la terre

.

succedaneum

it is dark outside, like the rain
the soft rain in january,
stripping the snow of its white.

there is a loophole somewhere,
with the rain and with the right,
a loophole or a noose,
your pick.

i am the womb in your pillow,
i gather your dust and save it
for a sunny day; if i blow softly
in a ray we can pretend it is gold.

but we let our bodies fade into masses
and i haven't weathered the dough.

three avocados and a handful of satin;


three avocados & a handful of satin

three avocados & a handful of satin

.

(à l'heure féconde on oublie ton nom.)

ton faux-semblant à la gorge est émoussé
tu n'as jamais vraiment sû te servir des lames

oil & water;


oil & water

oil & water

every morning is the day's micro new year.

quatre souhaits.
deux bises sur les joues.
trois poignées de main.

we should wish us well, every day.
