Hebert Logerie Poems

When you lose
Remember
There will be another blessed day
There will be another play
...

When I am wrong
I read a few psalms
Afterwards I sing a song
The criminal who roams
...

You know women love poetry enormously
And men love style, harmony immensely
The hallucinatory and the pharaminous musicality of the words
An explosion of love can calm or appease the waters
...

Haiti
Is a long ago
Kidnapped country
Before the parturition of the harmful bayonets
...

Le café
Est noir
Pourquoi
Vous aimez
...

Yo dije 'que te amo' esta mañana
Y tú respondiste: gracias
Te equivocaste cariño
Deberías haber dicho: yo también te amo.
...

Ouçam, queridos amigos. Meu nome é Hébert.
Brierre, Vilaire, Laferrière, Césaire, Baudelaire,
E escrevo palavras bonitas,
E cerca de muitas coisas bonitas.

La Llave De La Cerradura De Mi Corazón

No sabía si mi amoroso corazón tenía una puerta
Y este portal también tenía una cerradura dorada y una llave
...

Dear son
I am no longer at home
Oh! Christ
I left the premise
...

Listen, dear friends. My name is Hébert.
Brierre, Vilaire, Césaire, Baudelaire,
And I write beautiful words,
And about umpteen beautiful things.
