Coutances [English translation]
One Sunday afternoon in Coutances1
in a room of a common, unrated hotel,
sunlight was going through the veiled curtains,
a fresh sunlight.
I got up quite late, this morning.
Too late for breakfast.
I went out, on an empty stomach.
I joined the queue at the bakery.
The town was all dressed up in Sunday and sunlight,
a fresh sunlight.
On a bench in a square, I communed with myself,
with just a shortbread biscuit and a raisin bread for company.
Now why the hell did I end up here,
between two vacations
on a Sunday afternoon in Coutances?
