JERE
M pa vle santi tris. M pa vle panse
nan denye manm fanmi, denye zwazo,
denye fwa m ka we mòn ak glas.
Men lè ou pa ekri omwen m ap ekri
powèm sa a e pou kek minit
m vizite lot monn lan ou m konnen
kouman jere lapli a epi soley la.
MANAGE
I do not want to feel sad, thinking
of the last family member, last bird,
last time I can see a mountain
covered with ice. But when you do not
write, at least I can compose a poem,
and for a few minutes visit another world
where I know how to manage rain and sun.
