Fievre global/ Global Fevering -- II

Global Fevering II

The sun sets, 
Eternal, burning,
While the air
Has changed.

Dusty --beautifully so (once)--
It is now
Dusted
With dust.

Fievre global/ Global Fevering - I

Global Fevering 1

The red-faced 
Whities -- 
The terrible Powers -- 
Are, are, R us;
Let's be honest:
We drive the same 
Gas-generators,
Snuggle in the same 
Furnace-toasted
Homes. 
We project onto Harps, Trumps, F-F-Fohrds
Beams of Yuppie Hate...
But we are (are, are, R),
If not the same,
Then -- planet-wise --
Too late.

Émile Nelligan - Poésie/ poetry




Émile Nelligan, from a good website of Québécois poetry

Soir d’hiver

Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.
Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Qu’est-ce que le spasme de vivre
À la douleur, que j’ai, que j’ai !

Tous les étangs gisent gelés,
Mon âme est noire : Où vis-je ? où vais-je ?
Tous ses espoirs gisent gelés :
Je suis la nouvelle Norvège
D’où les blonds ciels s’en sont allés.

Pleurez, oiseaux de février,
Au sinistre frisson des choses,
Pleurez, oiseaux de février,
Pleurez mes pleurs, pleurez mes roses,
Aux branches du genévrier.

Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Ma vitre est un jardin de givre.
Ah ! comme la neige a neigé !
Qu’est-ce que le spasme de vivre
À tout l’ennui que j’ai, que j’ai !….

Voyage par voiture, 1974/ Car Trip, 1974



Car trip, 1974

The sun (which is fun)
Has a sort of taken-for-granted quality
To the young;
Its rays--
Hot, prickling-- 
Are for outside
During a stop.

Nature , alone, 
Bores ...
No kid *really* likes pure sky, pure lake, pure grass.
It's the inner sun,
The joking around,
That makes all that
Raw world 
Into something
Well-remembered
And...
And... (ultimate fate)...
Done.

나뭇잎의 수업/ Lecons de feiulle/ Leaf Lessons II



Leaf Lessons IV

Forest '67

Remember 
That bliss
Seems only a moment 
Of melt,
But returns 
And is ...

Plentiful?

There's a pain here--
It's the time you remember, 
Time's arrow
Worse than a bullet
Softer than a pillow.

We played in the
Tangles of paradise;
We learned to love nature
Here.

We ...
We ...
Were a we,
And existed with the permanence
Of things that
Leave.
