Plumes engagées
Summer in Mauritius
À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.
A sweltering breeze invades,
unremarkable to gossiping pigeons
and the red flowers dangling
in a bell-shaped earring style.
Our veranda overlooks the sea,
welcoming an oven-like breath
on our éclairs—with a chocolate
icing running down my fingertip.
I sit on the leather couch,
and balloon up with regret once
my sticky skin dabs the seat
like a spoon spreading caramel sauce.
The swing seems ideal,
but my grandfather claims it by lying
on a cushion that’s turned into
a papier mâché blob under his head.
