Opened Book

The book you offered to me waits by my side, in its silky blanket while is risking a timid autumn sun. If I open it, I guess leaves contain much more than a ray, because when I dive into it these are your words that I think I read. So it develops all along the pages, as if your hot breath accompanied a tiny new plant towards spring. ____________________________ Le livre que tu m'as offert attend à mes côtés, dans sa couverture soyeuse pendant que se risque un timide soleil d'automne. Si je l'ouvre, je devine que ses feuilles contiennent bien plus qu'un rayon, car, quand je m'y plonge ce sont tes paroles que je crois y lire. Ainsi se développe-t-elle a fil des pages , comme si ton souffle chaud accompagnait une nouvelle pousse vers le printemps. RC
