pétanque du soir -
la fillette compte
les étoiles

evening petanque –
the little girl
counts stars

 

 
premiers flocons –
un concerto de Mozart
à l'autoradio

first snowflakes –
a Mozart concerto
on the car radio

 

 
lumière d'aube –
rien d'autre
dans la toile d'araignée		 dawn light –
nothing else
in the spider’s web
