Sur l'pont des Arts,

Farewell Angelina (tribute to Joan Baez)
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must go

And I must go
Hunger
The plants smelled with delight the hordes of dinosaurs thundering toward them. It had taken them a long time to entice the gigantic beasts so far south, and they had had to use all their knowledge in their effort to feed. Pheromones, flower emissaries, sweet odors.

But his words struck me and I took to watch with him the quiet water and the fog at dawn.
We were alone when the fog cleared and the metal ship flew over the gleaming water. “Environmentalist Lirte, sentenced to twenty years of public service. Are you ready to serve once again?”

I come to watch the fog every morning, before toiling in the fields…
