Into the Unknown

Strange path never tread before.

No certainty except passion.

Running through wilderness.

Feeling anxious, yet eager for the next big adventure.

Running full force into nothing, unafraid.

Ténacité

élevé dans des sables mouvants, maltraité, battu, mais jamais cassé.

les rêves peuvent prendre du temps à se matérialiser, mais je suis inébranlable,

les lettres de refus et les éditeurs disparus ne me retiens pas.

jours ingrats passés de 9h à 17h,

des vacances manquées joindre les deux bouts,

je persiste quand même,

je n’ai pas fini.

Red Wine

Red wine passes through my lips, heals the hurt of the day,

this is not to say I recommend you mend all wounds with wine –

Knew a man who couldn’t put down his favorite way to block the pain, died of it.

But this full-bodied cabernet distills my insides,

Keeps work, debt, worry at bay.

So I sip as I sit, and melt away.

Charlottesville

blood in the streets,
still I’m not surprised,
hateful hooded men who carry torches breeze past me everyday,
in the supermarket, on the subway –
cloaks and masks removed.

blood in the streets,
and somehow the opposition is to blame,
how dare we fight back against an armed, racist, mob,
don’t you know who gets to carry the pitchforks around here?
(hint: it’s not you and I)

blood in the streets,
and broken bodies out on sidewalks all summer long,
when’s it going to finally sink in?
more incendiary threats and half-baked wars,
this nation will be its own ruin.

Réveil

Feet on the ground now so I don’t miss a step (except for when I’m falling all over my lover).

Practicing patience, keeping the inner-self still.

Present passing by, future slowly more clear. A rush and a push, we’ve come all the way here.

Take a second, take a minute, enjoy and u n w i n d.
