Le temps se revêt de sa robe brumeuse
Nuit triste où la chaleur des projectiles
Chasse la fraîcheur des montagnes
Une nuit qui se termine sans matin
Une nuit à l’orée de la vie…
Tant de printemps à oublier
Tant de bonheurs à recoudre
Tant de rêves à repeindre
À l’océan des âmes solitaires
Tant de souvenirs moroses…
Un dimanche soir
sur le Boulevard du Cap-Haïtien
à travers des visages inconnus
inlassablement, avec foi
je cherche un peu de toi.…
Lorsque la nuit viendra
Avec son armée d’ombres ténébreuses
Imaginaires et effrayantes
Maman, fais-moi un grand et doux câlin
Pour que je puisse dormir en paix…
