On a Sunday, in the Other, fish were showing me
what is light of passage.
Two had golden eyes.

 

We were flying, happy, transformed into one body,
towards the surface of the deep
of the world ocean.

 

The summer night was whiffing into me.
At last, I said to it: You are right.
I have a good life.
