LE CRÉPUSCULE DE FOSSOLI Je sais ce que veut dire ne pas revenir À travers le fil barbelé J'ai vu le soleil descendre et mourir ; J'ai entendu ma peau se déchirer Les mots du vieux poète : « Les soleils peuvent mourir et renaître. Une fois que meurt notre brève lumière, Il nous reste à dormir une nuit perpétuelle. »	SUNSET AT FOSSOLI I know what it means not to return Through barbed wire I have seen The sun go down and die, And have felt my flesh torn By an old poet’s words: “The sun may set and rise, But we, contrariwise, Sleep after our short light One everlasting night.” Marco Sanzogni, Harry Thomas
