Bord de Mer
Bord de Mer
Two fresh water pearls,
by way of crystals
signal me to remain unsaid,
and invite me to look
at the landscapes of the sea.
Within them are painted
myriads of star-shaped rubies
where I am not afraid
to lose myself.
In these blond dreams
that serve me as pillows,
I deploy balms of oblivion,
and look at you, unreal,
in a world of colors and sounds.
If only for the time of a breath,
I would like to join algal blooms
laid down each morning by the wind
on my glassed-in pupils.
There, twilight struggling with lightnings
fires up joyful cats and dogs,
like wild plants parched of thirst
in the Sahara desert.
There, pink dawn
looms up in nightly ripples.
What can I say to the rain
that surprises our naked shoulders?
Salt houses and sand caravans
show up on our windowsills,
and expose themselves.
We only need to half-open our skylights
to perceive drips of rain part
and brush against the Luke-warm water
dying with each tides
on the threshold of our doors.
Beauty Is In The Street
A novel by Hubie Scemama
It is May 1968. The squats are full, the borders are teeming with emigres and the streets of Paris are in flames. In this tale of love and revolution, a group of young drifters battles the chaos of their era, finding the world torn asunder, while the barricades of student uprisings fill the boulevards. When Karim, a Tunisian émigré falls in love with Genevieve, a widow and single mother from the French middle class, their romance collides with the prejudices of the establishment and their own cultural differences. Torn between her lover and her son, Genevieve is confronted with questions of loyalty, while Karim faces fears of deportation. Will their love prevail over these challenges? As the turmoil across Paris intensifies, the young rebels discover that the answer lies in the street.
