L'étrangère
Je me baladais
hasardeuse
et soudain
dans la vitre
je ne l'ai pas reconnue.
Qu'il m'a fait mal
de voir ses yeux cernés,
ses gestes suspendus
par une hésitation mortelle.
Un mot à elle
suffirait à allumer
des orages,
son rire
à éclabousser les murs,
l'étendre de ses mains
à changer les routes.
Pourquoi
elle tait sa voix
et tâtonne, sombre,
l'ombre de soi-même?
Ne se méconnaît-elle pas,
en se regardant
dans cette vitre?

The stranger
I was walking
haphazardly
and, all of a sudden,
on the window glass,
I did not recognize her.
How painfull it was
to see the dark circles in her eyes,
her gesture held
by a deadly hesitance.
A word from her
would light up storms,
her laughter
would make walls crumble,
a movement of her hands
would change all the roads.
Why does she silent
her voice
and gropes, groomy,
her own shadow?
Can she be unknown to herself,
looking at herself
in this window glass?
