Un myosotis dans la main
Language: French (Français)  after the Japanese (日本語)
Si je secoue ma main, ma manche : rosée, parfum, couleurs. Même absent, son image demeure. Ce myosotis, souvenir ! S'il fleurit sur sa branche, je le planterai, je l'aimerai matin et soir, pendant les heures solitaires !...
