Poème par Agathe Melançon

Agathe, une participante de L'Itinéraire, a composé un poème sur le thème de la cohabitation sociale. Ce poème fait écho au projet Espaces Partagés, visant à faire rayonner les réalités vécues par les personnes vivant ou ayant vécu l’itinérance et la précarité, ainsi qu'au fanzine réalisé par les membres de L'Itinéraire, disponible ici.

 

Cohabitation 1
 
Classement
Famille d’un côté
Célibataires de l’autre
Âge d’or habite ailleurs
 
Compartiment
Ouvrons les vannes
L’expérience chante
L’énergie entraine
Une société, compris!
 
Des clans interrompus
Pour partager des mots
Et des maux
Apprennent à vivre ensemble
 
Intergénérationnelle
Reste vivant
En confiance
Malgré les impatiences
Du p’tit qui pleure
L’autre à moitié sourd
 
La flexibilité pousse
Comme une évidence!
Le je au nous
Profite de la présence
Continuons d’apprendre
Le retour des sources
 
Cohabitation 2
 
La main tendue
Les pas qui ignorent
Le cœur brisé
 
La senteur nauséabonde
Qui passe, s’assoit
Pis l’autre qui crie : va travailler!
 
La manne du cœur
Un bonjour, un sourire
Donne-moi le gout d’exister!
 
J’suis ton voisin de rue, de court
Des fois assis proche d’un commerce
Mon apparence intérieure est si belle
 
Tes préjugés me tournent en steak haché
J’suis en boule comme un fœtus
Reconnais-moi comme un bourgeon
 
J’attends juste la bonne occasion
De connaitre, de trouver la force
Pour grimper dans la cour de la réussite
 
Cohabitation 3
 
Animaux en ville
Gens à la campagne
l’espace appartient à qui ?
 
Des animaux éliminés/transférés
Déposséder de leur territoire
La force de l’homme conquérant!
 
Des animaux foncent dans les vitres
inadaptés
Comment les protéger?
 
Lieu pour chacun
Lieu commun
harmonie ou extermination?
 
Regarde, c’est beau
Ils vivent, ils respectent
La faune partout
