Mer

My heart weighs tons
And my body abandons itself so lightly to the sea
The sea cries its waves
That taste like tears
And go, ephemeral, to get lost in the earth
Melt into the earth
Magical, original sea
In its essential rhythm
Belly of the sea
You keep to throw us
Into a dried-up world
Made only of earth
Where I never
Knew what to do
And the wave dances and plays then breaks
And the sea suddenly
Turns grey
My love is so heavy to bear
I would gently lie down
In the magical, original sea
In its essential rhythm
I wish the sea
Takes me back to be reborn
Elsewhere than in my head
Elsewhere than on the earth
Where without my love
I can do nothing
