Klòch sonm té ka sonnen an laplas vil-la.
Pa Dyab-la, mé mwen konnèt li byen.
Mwen té ka maché asou gwan lawi-a bò koté’y kon on ti-manmay ki pa konnèt anyen, té tounen koté i ka dòmi-an.
Toujou tounanté pa an kuryozité ki pa ni bout, pa kaché pyès detay ban mwen.
Klòch sonm té ka sonnen tout apwémidi-a, mé ou mantjé yo.
Twòp fon adan pè lavi-a pou ou té sa wè sa,
Twòp bizi ka kalkilé mannyè pou lévé drapo wézistans.
On ti-not pèsonèl sòti koté édito politik-la <mété magazin gwòch radikal>, nou tèlman dézolè nou pa sa piblyé sa kwiyé-ou pou wévolisyonè-an.
Sa pa fè anyen, lè jounal litérè-a ka mandé pou tout sé powèm mwen-an ki pi cho-a.
Klòch sonm ka kontinyé sonnen chak lè apwézan.
Mwen kouché, épi dé-twa wégrè an lanmen mwen, nan mitan lanmè-a,
Kenbé anlè pa on lanmou ki pa ka kanyen, on gwan twézò mwen chéri nan gwan kalm sa-a ki pa ni bout.

Ki-sa ou vlé an lavi-a?
Gadé lanmè-a.
Ti bo anenman manman-ou,
pa té janmen fè’y pli mèyè.
Ni an lanfè an vant ou,
Ni an grangou an zo-ou,
Lavit-la vid,
Sa ka fè ou vlé viwé lakay.
Manman
grafyé rasin-an
dwèt ou blé épi an san
twou-a pa ni fen

Gadé mwen,
all decked out in white and gold like
I’m the second coming.
dripping venom instead of holy water.
wouldn’t mind the suburbs, if not
for the new age bros and vapid white feminists,
who have the gall to assume they’re part of the solution.
ki sa pwòblenm mwen?
thought you could talk down to me in perpetuity,
‘til I obliterated your ego with my doc marten boot.
we were never really friends, just friendly.
can’t feign austerity for your comfort any longer.
shower me in your hyperbolic platitudes,
wild, brash, dehumanizing for drawing boundaries – I’ll embrace it.
rather that than live sad, frigid, and fraught with fear.
