Eugénie Paultre

WINTER 2

– a smile noticed received from the blue side of his tender heart his voice always able to make the living nuance of his face vibrate all the way across to me clear light so gently shared sound of a breath a river balanced on the fate of our attention always willing to be submerged warmth and courage hold us
to touch the core of life
where the body comes to be
to get to the secret of our impulsion –
exhaustion takes us away and brings us back to ourselves
–  to reach the self
as it is required from us as never before

HIVER 2

HIVER 2

– sourire vu reçu du côté bleu de son tendre cœur sa voix toujours parvient à faire vibrer jusqu’à moi la vivante nuance de son visage sa claire lumière dans un prononcé acquiescement tout en douceur partagée bruit d’un souffle fleuve balancé aux hasards de notre attention disposée à s’immerger chaleur et courage nous retiennent
toucher au vif de la vie
par quoi tout le corps s’incarne
toucher au secret de notre impulsion –
la fatigue nous éloigne nous rapproche de nous-mêmes – parvenir jusqu’à soi
comme il nous est demandé comme jamais
