Si j’avais au moins... [English translation]

Whoever has felt

No tremendous suffering

Only will have a glimpse

Of time

The slow hand

Whether it is snowing or blowing1

The omnipresence

Stresses your absence

Anywhere

Whoever has not known

The unsettled kingdom2

Whoever has not lost a thing

Cannot feel the pain

No reserve anymore, at all

Either god, or hatred, careless

No haughtyness anymore, I seemingly am

In grief...

A darkening

If I had at least

Seen your face again

Caught sight of any cloud

In the distance

But those

Who stand up

Are told « to hope »

Of whom it is said they bleed

Without a goodbye, to believe3

And I, why do I live

Whenever the other replies, I die

Why does nothing trouble

Your heart any longer ...

All my demons

The most hostile ones

Shatter the most delicate

Voices

Of all the most loyal

Angels of mine

And I, the lost soul,

Am engaged to the darkening ...
