Communion. Poem by Michael Walker
Communion.
J'essayais d'arriver a comprendre
De quoi il s'agissait
Mais je ne pouvais comprendre
De quoi il s'agissait
J'y renoncai donc et j'allai
Prendre le sacrement
Et quand je le pris
Je me sentais bien en criant!
-'Communion'. Langston Hughes. 'Poems 1941-1950'.
