premier douche de l'an le paysage s'efface dans la buée
first shower of the year the landscape fades in the condensation

pluie battante -- le regard de la vache dans la bétaillère
heavy rain --
the eyes of the cow
in the cattle truck
A haiku written this evening coming home in the night and the rain. A few seconds, I meet its eyes. The poor cow...
Eyes seen through that kind of little window remember me the '40 cattle cars of the deportation convoys. Innocent people heading to the extermination camps. Just for a while that impression like a flash in the night.

nuit froide -- des plumes d'oiseaux dispersées dans la cave
cold night -
bird feathers scattered
in the basement

jour d'Auschwitz --- des rails glacés luisent dans la nuit
Auschwitz day ---
cold rails gleam
in the night
27 of January 1945 - Liberation of the camp
Never forget that.
