Melançon, Robert: Wakening (Éveil in English)

Portre of Melançon, Robert

Éveil (French)

Le rêve du fleuve

se dissipe à peine.

J’émerge de sa lumière

sans ombre comme un nageur

de l’étreinte de l’eau.

Je me penche à la fenêtre

et l’étrangeté

du matin me surprend.

Dans la rue sans bruit coule

l’aube, cette eau sans rive.

Wakening (English)

The dream of the river

is scarcely dispersed.

I emerge from its shadowless

light like a swimmer

from the water’s embrace.

I lean out the window

and the strangeness

of the morning surprises me.

Into the street noiselessly spills

the dawn, a shoreless sea.
