Sara Bourre
(UNTITLED)
Tr by Mia Kovacic
To write a little
To find events
Breakage points before nightfall
To write for nothing
In the disobedience of the body
In the breaking of laughter
The uproar of thought
At this hour we are alone
Perfectly
Alone
And our voices grow solemn
Breaking against the night
There’s nothing to be done
Écrire un peu
Trouver des évènements
Des points de rupture avant la nuit
Écrire pour rien
Dans la désobéissance du corps
Dans le fracas des rires
Le vacarme des pensées
À cette heure là nous sommes seuls
Parfaitement
Seuls
Et nos voix se font graves
Nos voix se cassent sur la nuit
Il n’y a rien à faire
