Dream
Hommes des Tous les Continents by Bernard Binlin Dadié, page 9
Translation by Margaret Wright-Cleveland, 2016
There is a void in me tonight
ideas, in shreds, fly away out of my head into the open sky
seeking rhythm and cadence
to lull my longing for grand spaces
and to give meaning to my life.
1945
