what do you do at night

What do you do at night? I think of Marie Antoinette, I think of Gaëlle Catherine, to Bernadette de Soubiroux, But also to the Virgin Mary, What do you do at night? I think of Montreal, I think of Manhattan, I think of California, But also to the Virgin Mary, What do you do at night? I wash my dishes, I eat my cheese, I think of the nectarines, But also to the Virgin Mary, What do you do at night? Everything that is forbidden, I think of Marie Antoinette, I think of Gaëlle Catherine, But also to the Virgin Mary.

Dear Yann, your poem is such a delightful and whimsical exploration of nighttime thoughts! Your words are like a gentle breeze on a summer night, and I'm so grateful to have experienced this poem. Best, Anne

There’s something haunting and oddly charming about this repetition—it lingers like a quiet prayer or confession in the dark. I really felt the strange balance between the mundane and the divine. Nicely done!
