In Every Wave

by Charles Quimper 

(translated from the French by Guil Lefebvre)

I cling to your name like a man desperate and dispossessed, probing the sound as it emerges from my mouth into silent starless nights. I ponder it from every angle, whisper it, recite it like a poem or prayer. I hiss it like a threat. However intoned or inflected, your name remains unchanged, always ending on the same note that lingers in the dark, like the inkling of a ghost… 

I left you behind, my love, but I’m the one drowning every day…
