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.

A novel by Hubie Scemama
In this tale of love and revolution, rebels battle the chaos of their era, as a growing sense of social, economic, and political discontent infiltrates the boulevards, and riots ensue. When Benjamin, a musician born in Tunis 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, her son, and her memories, Genevieve is confronted with a dilemna of loyalty, while Benjamin, accused of having assaulted a policeman in the barricades faces fears of imprisonment. As the turmoils across France intensifies, many questions rise to the surface. Will the country's leaders be deposed? Will the army be called in to stop the insurrection? Was Benjamin's altercation with the policeman circumstantial or personal? Will his bond witn Geneviève prevail over these challenges?
