If I had made the sky,
I would have coloured it blue too,
the trees and leaves green too,
but the earth,
I would have coloured it white,
so that I may never see
the mud, the blood, the ash...
I would have made it out of geometric shapes
disguised in air and water…
We could have swum like fish,
we could have flown like birds…
If I had made the angels,
I wouldn’t have made them invisible;
I would have had the joy to look at them,
to talk to them,
I would have had someone’s lap
to cry into.
His hand would have caressed
my leaned head…
Oh, God, don’t mind !
If I had made the earth, the angels…
