Fait divers Poem by Rose-Marie François

Fait divers



We'd say
the big dark woods
and shiver.

Nothing
at the opaque hour
but creaking branches,
overheated reesin.

The eye grown wide
searches for a firefly,
the support of a thougt.

But by neonlight
fir trees amble.
Night no longer terrifies,
nor does the oger.

For
kids are killers.

Transl. Judy Cochran and Anne-Marie Glasheen
