Brossard, Nicole: Towns without water (Villes sans eau in English)

Portre of Brossard, Nicole

Villes sans eau (French)

à l’heure des désirs brefs du matin

une goutte d’eau et sa lumière

plus tard pour contrer la poussière

il a fallu chercher l’herbe le buisson

une quelconque trace

du temps fluide et incliné à l’heure

qui assoiffe en nous le songe

Towns without water (English)

at the hour of brief morning desires

a drop of water and its light

later to counter the dust

we looked for a blade of grass, a bush

any trace

of a time liquid and bowed to the hour

the dream thirsting inside us
