Kerchief
In the morning
folded with its flowers
washed and ironed
il takes up little space in the drawer.
Shaking it open
she ties it round her head.
In the evening she pulls it off
and lets it fall
still knotted to the floor.
On a cotton scarf
among printed flowers
a working day
has written its dream.
John Berger, 1981
painting by Aline Coton
le poème de John Berger est paru dans "Ecrits des blessures", le Temps des cerises, 2007
