SANDRINE DAVIN

 

In The Shade Of The Cherry Tree

 

The earth cries

The memory of your steps

That your soles

Have too often sprained.

The cherry trees

Do not bloom,

He’s not here anymore

For so many years.

…

 

The straw hat

Hung in the barn

Rest for ever.

 

Wandering

 

Wandering

The soles bite

Earth

 

Time

Tear the flesh

 

Horizon blown

Deadwood Legacy

Memory laceration

- Trace -

Breakage

 

The Sky Is Roaring

 

The sky is roaring

On the tree

Seal of History

 

A land

Their land

Trampled

Through the veins of shadow

 

- Out of memory

The flesh the wind –
