Words for Samuel (July 2021-June 2022)

— Par Nicolas Kurtovitch —

​When I will be young I will be in love
I’ll walk arm in arm with a woman
with my own nonchalant pace along the lagoon
I’ll be in the gaze of passers-by
like a young man at peace
I will be in love and all my body
will be like a volcano
​When I will be young I’ll have a great sword
I’ll fight against death
with sharp and steady blows
I’ll fight from sunrise
for the poor and those I protect
I will fear neither hurricanes nor fires
nor the succession of ghosts launched in attack
​When I will be young I’ll leave my country
I’ll go to discover the world
the sand plains the snow-capped plateaus
the oceans submitted to storms
the overcrowded cities the bucolic valleys
no nothing in this world will hold secrets anymore
