Passing trains are the only noise that disturbs the tranquillity of my rural life


A main line passes near my Provencal house

I often sit covered only in a bright kimono

And watch these beautiful trains pass by

For a few moments the lineside flowers

Engage in a frenzied but colourful dance

And then they settle and let the high sun calm

The great madness that inhabits their blue blush blue
