Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE
Eponymie (English)
With lightly falling drops like flickering souls,
with thoughts, the murmurs of flowers,
pale yellow, silver grey, sea green,
the rain will see you to your door!
Here, each leaf is an flower,
a measureless measure of eternity!
Behind the curtains the shock of words
lets us through the moving screen outside!
Chiaroscuro of the heart and those things
where the inspired eye cuts into the here and now
and the names of ordinary solitudes.
Translated from the French by Norton Hodges
