Drowning.

Drowning ou assimilation

I was looking at the sea

The brain in my heart was crackling
Over the waves, ô water and salt
Like my childhood days… Sky beauty
Over my skin… Humanity is born
With you… little man…
In such a pretty instant
I will never forget.
When I die in your eyes
Peaceful and blue
Ready for love.

Ce poème de Jean Simoneau a été envoyé à Ray Johnson, fondateur du New York Correspondent School of Art, avec l’illustration du peintre La Toan Vinh, de Montréal, en 1993.
