Cities with their fools for God

Nicole Brossard
Translated from the French by Sylvain Gallais & Cynthia Hogue

this time I count the hands, the feet,

the tongues, the tunics, the pebbles

the heads, the beardsthe skullcaps, the veils, the scarves,

I do not count the vertigos

the ablutions the miraclest

he whiplashes

in the loudspeakers

the dozens of spat-out words, such a big fire

that water must be splashed on brow, on feet,

I count the eyes, the fingers,I count until the dust

I count until childhood

Villes avec leurs fous de dieu

cette fois-ci je compte les mains, les pieds,

les langues, les tuniques, les cailloux

les têtes, les barbes

les calottes, les voiles, les châles,

je ne compte pas lea vertigesles ablutions les miracles

les coups de fouet,

dans les hauts parleurs

des dizaines de crachats de mots, un feu si grand

qu'il faut de l'eau sur le front, les pieds,

je compte les yeux, les doigts,

je compte jus

qu'à la poussièreje compte jusqu'à l'enfance
