north wind


north wind blows at nightfall friend’s embrace

warm winter day a late bumblebee buzzes by searching for the nest

dewfall a seagull leaves footprints on a car top

dark clouds the moon and a star escape before dawn

streetlights falling from above a rain of leaves

cold morning clouds coming from afar and from our mouths

winter’s herald a dead bumblebee on the sidewalk but the sun is shining!

christmas eve laughter muffles the crackling of the furnace

morning sun shining in the distance snow on the mountain

dawn tremble the passer-bys and the stars

quiet morning the world seems new after the rain

every day a surprise on the way dog shit

in the morning blows a cold cold wind even the flags tremble

same day same hour again on my path the broken branch

after the storm so many different leaves on the ground

blue sky on the naked plane branches so many burrs

dark clouds over the valley below the rainbow

evening star in a starless sky a plane goes by

rising sun on the trees and rooftops out of reach

winter morning against a frozen sky crimson clouds

shutters ajar how slowly it descends the rising sun

fresh buttons only the trees undress for winter

before the flowers announcing spring the lottery seller

ides of march i sense on my tongue the first rain

first light a dark shape passes by the first seagull

light drizzle droplets glitter on the eaves and on my jacket

days of march either sunny either rainy today i walk

dust in the air how sweet is the smell of fresh rain

over the eave the cat looks at me eyes of water

rising sun on my way to school i lower my gaze

morning breeze i feel it passing by even without seeing it

morning gestures dressed in so much colour and a few buttons

beneath the fragrant shade of the flowering tree a bed of petals

spring shower as soon as it comes it goes without a trace

lonely birch so many the agapanthus blue and white

lunch time across the garden flowers a bee

raindrops tremble here then there the forget-me-nots

the garden pond overflows into the path no haste

inside the bus among passengers and yawns the butterfly flutters

in a single palm tree over twenty families my god the noise!

in the old garden flies and wasps buzz where are the flowers?

on easter day they should not argue the butterflies

dark clouds over the distant mountain goes the procession

coming back among the brooms heather and thistle

sleepy morning between thoughts i scratch my crotch

steady gait and eyes to the ground dandelion

by the moonlight all is pale shadows and dark shadows

small frights the furtive movement of a cat and the barking of a dog

milky way glowing in the dark a cigarette

night shadows escaping from dawn a cat hides

the day after caught in a candle three moths

green darter out of an old umbrella children scream

winter sun even piss shines golden in the evening light

dandelions a millipede stumbles on its own behind

summer rain hurry back home little bee

nap time beneath the willow leaves a gentle breeze

my shadow has it its own shadow? is it me?

summer night under the starry sky countless cicadas

aimless in the warm summer breeze dry leaves

open door who else would stop the passing cat?

so simple! at the end of a hot day a glass of water

the wave rolls with a rustling sound the pebbles roll

sandy beach wasps drone in the wind little girls whistle

lemon water memories of being smaller and summers bigger

summer’s end flies cling to our skin and their lives

autumn warmth two butterflies flutter one after the other

abandoned field the kitten plays by himself hide-and-seek

harvest time a long line of seeds among the vines

september rain grazing on the grass a flock of doves

morning hygiene take bath wash teeth lick fur

leaving home look out little snail! here i come

school day decorated with dew a dry leaf

in a starless sky venus and the moon’s horns back to the routine

solitary march among the fallen leaves a processionary

october moon horns facing the sea rain is coming

morning people on their way to work over fallen leaves

misty morning empty buses move along empty streets

wall in red the blackbird has flown away and there are no more berries

lonely venus on the way to school everyone sleeps

school morning the bus goes by at the scheduled hour

fallen leaves sharp brown edges a broken bottle

deserted street what a surprise we are! yellow cat

autumn morning people appear in the mist and disappear

autumn sky red oranges and yellows on the ground as well

pale gray slivers always fleeting always fleeting the glory of daybreak

on the ground and over the cedar the red maple

evening on the already tall grass three chairs

october rain while the sun shines two butterflies

storm where the street was a river

the green garden again with no leaves colourless graffiti

the long road travelled with short steps homebound
