# 16 Béatrice Machet Cherry-Lackered Nails...


# 16  “answering” Dominique Hecq's Red (# 12)

"When we look in the mirror
our faces do not know us
and our hands fall asleep in their glum citadel
eyeing the chaos of a life."


cherry-lackered nails at her fingertips
holding somebody’s hand tight
like she’s back in childhood
when there was no boundary
and two as one was easy …
                       walking silently she wonders
what girl         for what woman to become
what woman             for what girl to forget
what man’s hand for this being on the run
drowned                   in an ocean of dreams
