À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.

A pigeon swiftly, steadily flies

in the endless cerulean

of the morning glow

away from the flight’s ritual of

circular motion dance

Chains freshly broken

Rules of routine in rebellion

One pigeon carves its

freedom spoken

Individualistic breath of kisses

swim in the growth-lotuses

Corps de Garde Mountain goggles

the novelty

anchoring

sheltering

bubble wrapping

All

in the New Era

Adaptable soldier

the town bows to you

Down, at ground-level

doors open, doors close

like exclamation marks (!)

echoing

homely chores

yelling

work for a salary

The dichotomy

of dilemma dives

in the solo and team games

confluencing at the

river of branches –

The choices.
