Tu me corresponds [English translation]

Under the moon

A few

Of my thoughts unravel

They escape me

They wrap themselves

In their seasonal coats

I imagine

That they end

Their journey below your balcony

We should get in touch

Because you match me

What do my poems become

When they take to the horizon

Where to all these cards go

That detach themselves from my walls

Some of them come back to me

A little more troubled than is reasonable

We should get in touch

Because you match me

If I knew how to spin around the earth

If I knew how to do it

If I had this gift

I would press myself against your iron shutters

I would stay there, it might as well

Be for good

Under the fluid

That guides them

All my thoughts slip away

I cannot believe

They lose their way

Before finding your house

I presume

That they light up

All the lights in your room

We should get in touch

Because you match me

I thought I was keeping under control

My whole cortege of desires

And I see that in turn

Each one of them flies away

Fanning out into the distance

Leaving for their most beautiful role

Wrapping themselves around your shoulders

Like everything I write

We should get in touch

If I could travel around the Earth

If I knew how

If I had that gift

I would press myself against your iron shutters

I would stay there might as well be for good

Under the moon

A few

Of my thoughts unravel

They raise themselves

And with my dream

Of your lips

Blur together in the distance

What luck

When I think about it

I’m sure it dances on your forehead

We should get in touch

Because you match me
