Ode
to the
undying
summers

I wish 

to celebrate

so many so many of them

oh beautiful
and past summers

and still wish 

to embrace 

how vibrant 

this one is

although softly dying 

and sing

the many ones with you to come

But maybe  should I decide 

once    once and for all 

that our summers never die

No they make us

° since each year
with them we are reborn °

yes

they make us  
a little eternal. 

One of the poets I've collaborated with is Aurélia Lassaque. She has just finished a tour of England where she has read from her new book: Solstice
Here she is in London. Her work is in Occitan with English translations.
