My girl, my little one

 My girl   
 my little one   
 my eternal child   
 Carmine back   
 my blueberry child   
 that I plucked from his mother's womb.   

 Then brother came.   

 And I left the castle 
 at the desire of another man   
 keeping only the scattered limbs  
 whose body I reconstituted      
 Fallen Osiris   
 a few weekends 
 sorry for not knowing   
 keep the heat in the fireplace   
 in my useless hands     
 fine dust    
 que le vent porte   
 to the long corridor of remorse.  
 
 Then the bronze doors opened   
 some bloody marks on the cold walls   
 j'avançai    
 perceiving   
 the flickering lights on the other side    
 beyond the tall forests   
 de mes passions en déraison.  
 
 The train entered the free zone   
 the brakes squealed       
 jets of steam
 blurred the shutter windows.   

 A silence came   
 crows were croaking     
 des voix hurlaient.  
 
 The line of demarcation passed   
 I knew nothing would be like before.   

 Some askew intentions   
 could not respond to your requests    
 back at home   
 childish handwriting on pink paper   
 out of sight   
 along a mountain road   
 sharing my sleepless nights   
 stars and moon in supply   
 the dog glued to the coattails   
 without ever looking back   
 j'allai.    
  
 The tricolor ribbon crossed   
 race over   
 in the labyrinth of wanderings   
 I had to find the mother earth   
 mixes atoms ready for recycling.   

 I will get up   
 the air will be cool   
 the heart will bleed   
 the footsteps will be pressing   
 to find the emerging companion   
 the memorial call to order   
 my friend double   
 handing me the crown of flowers      
 my daughter in mandorla   
 my little one   
 my eternal child
 ma bleuette   
 that I had gathered from her mother's womb   
 a day of joy.
