Boats & Birds

I'm Anthony - 21, a senior in college, gay, a writer, a runner, a Cancer, and deep down, a rather simple person. I'm fluent in French. I love traveling and languages. The written word is a beautiful thing. Interests: poetry, piano, art, yoga, reading, cooking, and running. This blog: for what I find beautiful and meaningful, and for occasionally things about my life.
"When beauty leaves you speechless, you take not the flower, but the seed."

Voices by DS, translated by Mathilde Deleval

~

Combien de fois dans une vie
doit une personne enfouir son coeur
et l’exhumer?

Je veux revenir
comme une feuille et tomber, dit-elle.
Resteras-tu avec moi?

Tu es tellement semblable
à l’homme que j’ai aimé.

~

How many times in a life
must a person bury her heart
and exhume it?

I want to come back
as a leaf and fall, she says.
Will you stay with me?

You are so much
like the man I loved.

(December 2011)
