In Your Words

 

Eric Tessier 

 

 

Odd revelation

At last I get the answers
but to which questions?

Life, death, destiny
These are serious topics but
I can’t help laughing

 

Whoever you are

Whatever you believe in

You are all alone

 

Wise as raving dogs
Nimble as foolish monkeys
Be fully alive


The scent of flowers
In the twilight, a bird’s song
Peace and sereneness

Drinking black coffee

Glaring at the passers-by

The world is a show
