Le Souffle

Ce réveil est lent Ces instants qui se suivent sans décompte Comme un levé de soleil distant Il s'approche Baigné dans une rose chaude cette fleur ne pique pas Non pas cette fois "Ne la haïs pas". Chaque inhalation mécanique Une main qui guide le regarde effleuré Les paupières s'ouvrent Dans une noir paisible, dans le pénombre Le regarde et les mains invisibles ne sont plus les miens Avec le souffle Je me lève --TRANSLATION-- This awakening is slow These uncountable instants filing one after the other Like a distant sunrise It approaches bathed in a warm rose color This flower does not prick not this time "don't hate her" The mechanical inhale a hand guiding the brushed gaze Eyelids open in the peaceful blackness, in the darkness The gaze and the invisible hands are no longer mine own With a breath I arise
