Pour Reveiller Une Vieille Dame. Poem by Michael Walker
Pour Reveiller Une Vieille Dame.
La vieillesse est
un vol de petits
oiseaux grisollants
glissant
des arbres nus
au-dessus d'un vernis de neige.
Gagnant et echouant
ils sont battus
par un vent noir-
Mais comment?
Sur des petioles de mauvaise herbe
la bande s'est reposee-
la neige
est couverte de gousses de graine
cassees
et le vent tempere
d'un tubulure aigu
de l'abondance.
-'To Waken An Old Lady'. William Carlos Williams. 1921.
