Abandoned
Darius Milhaud
Till then,
I'll be all alone in the house
without a single kiss.
All my pleasure will be spoilt,
like a poor orphan,
my heart pale with anxiety,
I will be a sad cook.
I will salt my meals
with burning tears
and slowly turn
toward violent solutions.
But, little one, it's time
to feed you.
Being a woman, I will modestly
go behind a bush
to give my coloured breast
to our little boy.
