An excerpt from my book "Mutual Discovery, at the end of the tunnel" recently published by www.lulu.com. There is also the French version of this poem.

Sunset in N’kamba

The sky was ocher

And the countryside glowing.

Far away, on the horizon,

Went down,

Towards the slate-gray mountain,

A mighty pink ball,

Like an all-embracing curious eye:

The African village

Plunged into a riot of colors.

On the top of giant eucalypti,

Before enjoying a long rest,

Were singing birds.

In the street bathed in flickering daylight,

Were playing children

And grown-ups were sharing innocent secrets.

It was a magical scenery,

I wished to be everlasting.

But, slowly, inexorably, unfailingly,

Merged the colors of nature,

Under the cover of night.

Mutual Discovery, at the end of the tunnel
