Leiris, Michel: Avare

Portre of Leiris, Michel

Avare (French)

M’alléger

me dépouiller

 

réduire mon bagage à l’essentiel

 

Abandonnant ma longue traîne de plumes

de plumages

de plumetis et de plumets

 

devenir oiseau avare

ivre du seul vol de ses ailes

Miserly (English)

Lighten me

unfeather me

 

strip my baggage down to bare

 

Abandoning my long-plumed train

of plumage

of needlepoint and feather spray

 

to become miser-bird

lyre of the lone flight of its wings
