Blue Hortensia

(to Jean-Pierre)

Innumerable blossoms in blue
around Breton chapels
dazzling white and blue
take their contrasts
to the dark green

Innumerable thoughts in blue
of a friend lost
brazing blue air
deep blue skies
white houses far off

Innumerable waves in blue
take away times
and all that blue.
There is, thank God,
white consolation.
