Unknown territory
It sets off on an adventure
Exploring every corner of this new territory
Creating its own soft hills and valleys
Impervious to the disaster it leaves behind
Attempts at writing... Short stories, poetry, essays, and a novel someday...
It sets off on an adventure
Exploring every corner of this new territory
Creating its own soft hills and valleys
Impervious to the disaster it leaves behind
À l'aube du jour,
dans les limbes inconscientes
entre les profondeurs du sommeil
et l'éveil,
j'ai reçu ta visite,
ma Grand-Maman.
A poem for the year that is gone.
Together as beings we will stand
Against powers we won't bend
To those who want to divide
We'll say we won't abide
As our freedoms we conquer
We must hold tight to one another
We must look through each others eyes
For this is the only way to rise
May our souls finally touch
For a new world where In Us We Trust

Within the depth of the night
Your spirit in limbos
Your heart, so big and kind,
Decided to let go.
Across the path
A fallen tree
Or is it a branch
World shuttered
Mind shattered
Stumbling
on the edge
This is something I wrote after watching Body and Soul, choreographed by Crystal Pite (one of my favourite choreographers of all times) for the Paris Opera Ballet. A flow of words came to me, raw and underwhelming compared to this mind-blowing work.
Une nouvelle écrite en 2007, et retravaillée en 2021. Toute ressemblance avec une situation récente serait donc purement fortuite.
Mais il est certain que cette situation m'a poussée à retourner sur cette nouvelle, que je voyais soudain sous un nouveau jour. Je n'ai cependant pas retravaillé le fond à la lueur de la pandémie, uniquement la forme.
Et donc la voici.
