A collaboration with Etienne Lariviere

Arrête Écoutez l'oiseau qui n'est pas là sentez le vent danser avec les branches des arbres nues comme elle embrassent la lune Touchez le ciel avec une larme Bientôt comme l'oiseau qui n'est pas là Moi aussi Je n'existerai plus Translation Listen the bird who is not there feel the wind dance with the tree branches naked as they kiss the moon Touch the sky with a tear Soon like the bird who is not there I too shall exist no more

This is such a fantastic poem using allusion and metaphors to a "T"! I could feel this poem running through me like a loose stream going down a mountain, a bit chilly but running slowly and deliberately! I really loved reading your illustrious collaboration here this morning! What a stupendous piece, Great Work!!
