Au bout de l'amour - English translation


Love. At the end of love.
At the end of desire there is nothing.
Love has no beginning and no end,
It is not born, it revives.
It does not meet, it recognizes.
It awakes as if after a dream
of which memory has lost the key.


It wakes clear eyed
ready to live its day.
But insomniac desire
dies at dawn after struggling
all through the night.
Sometimes love
and desire sleep together.
On such nights one
sees the moon and the sun.

(NEES, Vic)
