Ottawa in love

This summer Ottawa had the freedom

of your forbidden unveiled .

 Passagers of our  spiceship , 

gossips drifting down the river !

We loved  each other 

in a tornado  of wild blueberries 

and some intimate coconuts .

You were a fruity testing virgin

offered to the sacred totem ,

 Ottawa in love turning our sun dance...

 In front of the window 

that opened onto the night ,

clothed on your splendid nakedness

you tackled some caramelized improv\'s

on your guitar, offering me

 a trebble key to heaven 

  in fugitive chords 

who enchanted  Bethoveen ! 

I contemplated you 

 emerging  of sleep 

like a kitten stretching out 

on the shores of a cloud ...

  beyond the morning bridge

  it was so much fun 

  to have a  speaking french coffee 

 and a few crunchy croissants ...

  Life was this delicious gobbledy gook !

Do you remember that summer in Ottawa

when faces had not silenced masks ?

  You laughted in the acid of the cherries,

 ruddy juice drawing a  volcano

  on your lips, ma cherie ,

  that I savoured and carried  away ,

 vagabond on the carefree living brandons...

 The sweetness of the indian summer 

 passing by  without a glance

  for the human that doesn\'t  fly !

   A flock of wild geeses heading south ...

 It\'s winter in Ottawa , 

  the window has closed ,

   cold stare\'s totem , evil spell 

 and the white man arrived ...

  You took your guitar 

 running away with  Santa,

playing for the cats 

running across the rooftops ,

so far from Ottawa ,

 so close to my heart ...
