CORRIGER LES PAROLES

Paroles : LUNCH

we sat together and ate our pizza
as if everything was okay.
we watched together as a bird hopped along
with a beetle as its prey.

we stared together as the violent bird
ripped the beetle to shreds.
his ferocious beak tearing away
at the beetle's oozing head.

we gawked together as the beetle
tried to free herself from his beak.
a fight to be free, the outcome bleak.

i was grateful for the company.

i wondered if the beetle
understood the permanence of dying.
i was horrified. you were fascinated.
both of us fell silent.
the empty shell of the beetle fell.
the bird hopped away unfazed.

we sat together and ate our pizza
as if everything was okay.
