[Nuit]

by Alain Lance

Nuit

Ruelles de rats

Rares les étoiles

 

Nuit du mal respire

Je crie je

Rêve que j’écris

Entre lointain fracas

Et l’étroite querelle

Cul-de-sacs of rats

Scattered stars

 

Night of shortened breath

I call I

Dream I scrawl

Between distant clamour

And this quarrel closer by
