News From the Salt and Wind

The horizon is sleek : No sails coming No boat slips > And I remember That you embarked, joyful for this distant country Where you would be happy - ( according to what is said ) -. Because I don't have news ... just those of the salt and the wind, too from now on, happens. I watch for the liquid immensity , all along the day, but the sea remains empty, - and absence is its outline. --- and the original (in french ) : -------- L'horizon est lisse Aucune voile ne vient Aucun bateau ne glisse > Et je me souviens Que tu t'embarquas, joyeuse pour ce lointain pays Où tu serais heureuse – ( d'après ce que l'on dit ) -. Car je n'ai de nouvelles ... que celles du sel et aussi du vent qui arrivent, dorénavant . Je guette l'immensité liquide, tout au long du jour, mais la mer reste vide , – et l'absence est son contour.
