J’ai déclaré ma flamme

From February 13 to March 17

I declared my love,

With my laces, with your knots,

With those that remain and those that barely touch,

With those passing through, with all of us.

Laces for love, others for hope,

Your laces within us, others within you.

Declaring one’s love, declaring your love,

Between you and me, between us and them.

For the most beautiful works of all

Are those we have created from within ourselves.
