À bientôt, renouveau [English translation]

The air has filled with salt

That falls in pixels

On the tip of my tongue

The water’s up to its limits

Gloomy landscape

Looks like Ireland

Here I am at a loose end

In this interval

Right between to waters

Hold on, rising tide

The moon that magnetises you

Will get to work soon

See you soon, springtime...1

See you soon waterfalls 2

In water so cold

That one cries out

See you soon great sea swells

Waves unrolling

On the grey rocks

For now, just a trickle of water

The raft’s not so proud

Stranded in the cove

See you soon, looking fine

Big sailboat

And great open spaces

See you soon, springtime…

See you soon, Oh the joy

To stroke again

The dog that bit

See you soon, Oh the drunkeness

Getting back up to speed

At full gallop

For now, the weariness

Arse between two chairs 3

Heart between two fires

See you soon, high seas

The song of dreams 4

Heady and graceful

See you soon springtime

1. or revival, renewal - but springtime seems to fit best 2. or maybe tricks, stunts, larking about 3. French expression equivalent to “on the fence” or “between two stools” but I prefer the literal translation4. Pipedreams if you like
