At the stroke of twelve
Somewhere else,
Confetti flies.

The quickly beating heart.

Alone with crickets.

The young orange tree
Which refuses to grow.

Edouard Hayem 1932 - 2010



bonjour amis d'Edouard!

Nous avons tant aime sa delicatesse.... voici un petit extrait sur youtube.


Ce jour la j'avais recu un nouveau appareil video mais comme vous allez constater je n'avais pas encore mis en main.!!
Mais quand j'ai vu Edouard dans le jardin j'ai vite pris cet appareil et le filmait.... pas terrible mais le cote "flou" n'est pas de tout ininteressant pour tous qui aimait Ed.
Ca fait justice quelquepart

je n'ai pas email adresse de Jacques et Francoise ni pour la famille Hayem.... si vous pouvez faire suivre a tous d'autres qui aime Ed.
Merci
Je vous embrasse tous

Flying out of empty room,
The words of fire.

Evening lament
For old bachelor.

The frog's wet song
Drowning the trees.

Gurgling gutters,
Home to green frogs
and tiny songs.

No umbrella for the bull
Or the white egret.

Between barbed wire,
Like me, the old bull
Looks for something more.

Your last rainy night vigil.
The bright headlights.

Then the next one.

By the light bulb.

Even pity 
For the poisoned 
Cockroach, reviled.

Next to roses
Or cockroaches?

Faucets of cricket
Dripping into the air,
Off, and on again.

Across time zones
My indifferent Swatch 
Ticks off time on Earth.

Sound of rice paper crinkling,
Dreams of house on fire.

Looking for a bar of soap
Finding the moon.

Confused
By week of rain.

An empty Sunday, 
Waiting in vain for the Muses,
Please ring your bells.

Even more cautious; birds
Hiding in the trees.

The lawn green.

Over the sand carefully
Thin magpie with limp.

Memory of your petals,
The throbbing leaves.

This guy drives the clouds crazy!
Smell the air they say.

Plastic bags and tied with bows.

to hear your moon moan.

Year after year grows,
Now, as wide as me!

Tonight, just a fly screen
Protecting me from you,
Daft moth.

The hard rain
Who can hear the ducks on the pond...
The biting mosquitos?
