16/5
Tormented and blessed those people breathe, what a placebo overcoming a past that seemed fine to me A speck suddenly appears that moves and sings, what an illusion, the memory of that passion resonating on my animal skin To hold it once again, what happiness that would be, the world around us is disappearing to anxiously cling to its essence, my compassionate heart within The moment is broken with sharp words and gestures that tell me I must again be on alert to leave the preserve. |
16/5 – d'Ethan Street
Tourmenté et blessé respirer ces gens, quel placebo surmontant mon passé pour que l’instant me semble beau Surgit soudain une paillette qui bouge et chante, quel illusion, vibrant sur ma peau de bête le souvenir de cette passion La tenir à nouveau, quel bonheur le monde autour disparaissant capturer timidement son odeur mon cœur à l’intérieur compatissant Une parenthèse s’est ouverte des mots et gestes enlassés qu’il me faut déjà en alerte quitter le pré-carré. |
