Father

Poem in automatic writing about « Father »

Capitalism, sexism... Since then, many other films of memories at the window have been made... Giving life, being, giving a hand, discovering it. Memory and guilt of a father against his son. On the way to autofiction, a conversation between a father and his son, played by the same voice. Finding meaning in life, despite its most terrible tragedies For Hippolyte. If I had known, if I could have, and yet I was always there. How life, even in its most painful moments, can show us the way to love.
