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.
