Poem Title:
Poem
How long will it take you, poet? To understand that poetry does not replace love? To understand, that everyone eventually falls out of their chair? How long will it take you, poet? To cross the Atlantic Ocean and the United States? To join your father in the unexplored forests of heaven? How long will it take you, poet? To lie under an apple tree and discover a great metaphor? To prove the existence of God to the Tsar and his evil soldiers? How long will it take you, poet? To understand that tulips and primroses are more deadly than you, That softness is the only language that women understand. Combien de temps, poète, te faudra-t-il ? Pour comprendre que la poésie ne remplace pas l’amour ? Pour comprendre, que tout le monde finit par tomber de sa chaise ? Combien de temps, poète, te faudra-t-il ? Pour traverser l’océan Atlantique et les états unis ? Pour rejoindre ton père dans les forêts inexplorées du ciel ? Combien de temps, poète, te faudra-t-il ? Pour t’allonger sous un pommier et découvrir une grande métaphore ? Pour prouver l’existence de dieu au Tsar et à ses maléfiques soldats ? Combien de temps, poète, te faudra-t-il ? Pour comprendre que les tulipes et les primevères, sont plus mortelles que toi, Que la douceur est l’unique langage que comprennent les femmes.
