CHEVAL SOMBRE

From time to time, I like to learn a severe truth about a familiar deception: a beautiful watch lying new in its case.

A precise, coruscating luxury,

The future arrives under the sign of its own negation.

A curious traversal of tenses, le dernier cri, and so

The hope of even seeing you again is slipping.

I’m so shaken, I act calmly for the rest of the afternoon:

At last I shall see my hunger for meaning go free.

The world could be like a faraway planet to which I declare,

Free at last: I shall see my hunger for meaning go.

I’m so shaken, I act calmly for the rest of the afternoon;

The hope of even seeing you again is slipping.

A curious traversal of tenses, le dernier cri, and so

The future arrives under the sign of its own negation.

A precise, coruscating luxury:

A beautiful watch lying new in its case. I like to learn a familiar truth about a severe deception from time to time.
