Poids des pierres, des pensées

Songes et montagnes
n’ont pas même balance

Nous habitons encore un autre monde
Peut-être l’intervalle

I went down a rabbit hole this evening and found the Derek Mahon translation (below) in a link saved back in 2005. Somehow it feels an appropriate discovery of personal internet archaeology¹

Weight of stones, of thoughts

Uneven balance
of mountain and dream

We still live in another world
perhaps the interval

1. I remember the text from having written it out at the time in my 'book of sorts', an A4 sketchbook thick with collage and drawings and sections done by friends as keepsakes. I made an error and lent it to someone with the intention of them doing something and sending it back and well, that was the end of that.
