Jacques du Lumerie Poems

i

the moon
crying
...

When the silence came
Nobody was there,
Nobody to hear the silence
...

You were part of something
I never wanted,
Part of someone
I never met
...

Elephants in a tender embrace
Thoughts about the wild hills
That overlook the sunny plains.
...

You drank all the moonlight
And left us with just stars;
...

All over France
There was a dream,
It started, like all dreams
From one man.
...

It is a ship that no longer answers,
No matter how much you call it,
No matter how much its name
Is never spoken but in grace.
...

At the grave of a child
You stop to read
The inscription,
And you cross your heart
...

9.

'Who believes
That we will get a second chance? '
...

I only knew it from hearsay
From what people told me
In the streets of broken bones.
...

'I shall see him no more'
He said
...

We watch the moon together
Like two drunken old men;
...

Those who sang to us
Are dead.
...

You who was born silent
Spoke but once in a thousand years,
Saying that you were sorry
To crack the quiet reflections of the day.
...

Sleep is a saucer
Dawn is as clear
As water on the moon.
Only my eyes look down
...

Our lips in a liquid pilcher
Are so gently rolling
Sleep in a corner
Chiseling away the sharp walls
...

Sparkle of a sunny hairspray
On a dried body
Like a bowl of sugar
Warm white strands
...

I say Lord, don't miss me
In the shadow of the abbey,
My prayers for your ark,
My enchanted chapel of nuns;
...

Each year they were together,
They loved each other
More and more
Until one day they both began
...

Also near the end of its life:
The old blackbird looks up at me
As if to say
'Please do not hurt me.'
...
