Chez toi [English translation]

Here

Surrounded by your things

Sitting

I hardly dare to

Move by millimetre

A little intimidated

I hear my objects being reborn

From my emptied boxes

Now that I live at yours

Banding together

Your books take voice

Their chief

The Alice of Sir Carroll

Guides this little world

With the voice of the queen

Who shouts at them “I warn you I scold

Those who lag behind”

Now that I live at yours

“More to the left”

Your knick-knacks yell at me

They wanted me to use them

A crooked frame

And it’s a right palaver

And I was right

To have sweet-talked you

To get to know your house

Riot

Two hundred childish voices

The pack

Of your intimate notebooks

Already warning me

“Without wanting to be mean

There’s no way that you’re looking

At our Moleskin pages”

Now that I live at yours

The hive

Swells like a inflated

Balloon

Which fills the room

In this joyful mess

That’s when you returned

And I was dancing with the silky fabric

Of your underwear

Now that I live at yours

“More to the left”

Your knick-knacks yell at me

They wanted me to use them

A crooked frame

And it’s a right palaver

And I was right

To have sweet-talked you

To get to know your house

“Don’t touch anything else”

Your knick-knacks yell at me

It’s true that the frame was straight

Until it came crashing down

It’s a right palaver

And if I had to do it again

I’d sweet-talk you again

To bring back my things
