Poetry Project Presentation


Debussy
My shadow glides in silence over the watercourse. On account of my shadow the frogs are deprived of stars. The shadow sends my body reflections of quiet things. My shadow moves like a huge violet-colored mosquito. A hundred crickets are trying to gild the glow of the reeds. A glow arises in my breast, the one mirrored in the water.
