Debussy

My shadow moves silently
down the coursing water.

My shadow deprives the frogs
of stars.

The shadow sends my body
reflections of still things.

My shadow moves like a huge
violet gnat.

A hundred crickets try to gild
the light of the reeds.

A new glow in my breast,
reflected from the water.

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 rises in my breast,
the one mirrored in the water.
