WE ARE SMALL Poem by Claude Esteban

WE ARE SMALL



We are small, so small you would say, that death
will forget about us

how well you spoke on the heath, I finished
by believing you, the fool

I imagined death like a mother
who welcomes us

and who wants us to go to sleep at last,
but you were only the fool

you muddled the signs mervellously,
as for myself

I was on the edge of the void, I waited.
