Here you are again in the depth of the chasm <br />That gnaws away at me, becomes my sole abode. <br />Was it motionless hunt or wrong track in some dream, <br />Am I Actaeon who was torn by his own horde? <br /> <br />A hiding freak, when my twin brother lies, I go <br />And search, as time goes by all the nooks and crannies. <br />For there is for us both only one eye, one shoe. <br />The one who sleeps must watch over the premises. <br /> <br />I'll tell you some day what kind of quest has been mine, <br />I shall enchant you with my tales and my disdains, <br />So that the role I play may surge out of my night, <br />A more mysterious one than Sultan Saladin's. <br /> <br /> <br />LE JUMEAU <br /> <br />Je te retrouve en l'abîme qui me ronge <br />Pour devenir le seul monde où je me tiens. <br />Poursuite inerte ou fausse piste du songe, <br />Suis-je Actéon que méconnaissent ses chiens? <br /> <br />Au fil des jours j'expertise le dédale. <br />Monstre celé, quand je vais mon besson git <br />Car nous n'avons qu'un oeil et qu'une sandale. <br />Celui qui dort doit surveiller le logis. <br /> <br />Je te dirai quel fut mon pèlerinage, <br />T'enchanterai de mes dits, de mes dédains, <br />Et de ma nuit surgira mon personnage <br />Opaque, plus que le sultan Saladin.<br /><br />Michel Galiana<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-twin-brother/
