Hélèna Bernadette Germain
Her time stroked face of silken skin hold eyes sunk deep beneath the brow that twinkle with secret remnants of her past; White flour smudged on worn black skirt from rough carrot stick fingers that work the dough for her specialty of pets-de-soeur; Her life rolled up from sugared dough, each year sliced into rounds that bake to glistening, golden brown. She tastes the sweetness of the years with hardened gums beneath thin lips that filter off-key melodies.

De là haut sans arrèt Une pluie tombe Détruisant l’oeuvre De l’homme Prouvant sa force À bien des portes. Laissant sur son passage Désastreuses images! Nous qui pardonnons La main dans la main Nous esperons À un demain meilleur Avec une durcir Emotion au cœur
