j’ai souvent tenté
de disséquer
cette ardeur
de plus en plus
de plus en plus
absente
il faut bien se rendre
à l’équivoque
(on se dit)
sinon, discerner
ces ombres
qui s’obstruent
en trompe-l’œil
et s’éclipsent
en vers

however,
I have often tried
to dissect
this increasingly
absent ardor
we must surrender
to the ambiguity
(we tell ourselves)
otherwise, to discern
these shadows
which obstruct each other
in trompe-l'oeil
and disappear
