Tourist / Touriste
My head, prayer-bent
over a folded map
my eyes, walking
lines
of streets
I don’t have time to see.
I look up
somewhere lost
among
strangers
I’ve known
all my life.

………………………
Ma tête, inclinée comme en prière
sur une carte pliée
mes yeux marchant
le long
des rues
que je n’ai pas le temps de voir
je lève les yeux,
perdu quelque part
parmi
les étrangers
que j’ai connus
toute ma vie.
