Variation Sur Le Sommeil De Mot

by Margaret Atwood

Je voudrais t'observer dormir, qui peut ne pas vous produire. Je
voudrais t'observer, dormant. Je voudrais dormir avec toi, pour
écrire votre sommeil pendant que sa vague foncée lisse glisse
au-dessus de ma tête

et la promenade avec toi par cette forêt d'hésitation de lucent de
bluegreen des feuilles avec son soleil aqueux et trois lunes vers la
caverne où tu dois descendre, vers votre plus mauvaise crainte

Je voudrais te donner la branche argentée, la petite fleur blanche,
l'un mot qui te protégera contre la peine au centre de votre rêve,
de la peine au centre que je voudrais te suivre vers le haut du long
escalier encore et devenir le bateau qui te ramerait en arrière
soigneusement, une flamme dans des deux mains évasées à où votre
corps se trouve près de moi, et à pendant que tu l'écris aussi
facilement que respirant dedans

Je voudrais être l'air qui ne t'habite que durant un moment
seulement. Je voudrais être qui inaperçu et qui nécessaire.
