Long Petites Poems

You’ll never be an Olympic champion, Cecile,
After your accident on the ice,
Just walk, only,
There are so many beautiful things to do,
While walking, only, doubly,
Walking makes happy, calms the heart,
Walking inspires the brain, frees it,
You’ll never...

I would stay for hours,
Waiting for a nice bee to land,
On the small purple flowers of a fuchsia, or heather,
I would wait for hours,
As if the future of the planet depended on it,
I would stay...

The shadow of a tree 
has fallen on the morning garden.

It moves with slow steps
and leaves its trail of frost,
as if it were telling the time
as the day progresses.

They hear our little fears
And lay them in their nests,
They know when we cry
And tell all their friends, in heaven,

Only birds tell the truth,

à la fin de chaque journée
je ne pouvais comprendre comment c’était possible

Et, avant que je retrouve cette sliver,
Qui ma aidé a rentré au quai des Milliardaires;

"petites éruptions" 

life pops 
oven red 
poppy petals

opium
eyes smoking
jade reflections

deep 
as the deep
blue ocean 

milky skin soft

juicy peaches

as a red hot kitchen 

entree for the tasting...

douleur référée

donc le cœur apporte avec elle la tragédie

mon petit chou is a term of endearment “my little cabbage.”

Aux petites choses,
Gros problèmes.
