Nine months

We sow

He has begun to speak to me

I hugged him

Like a duck

Caught in the act

Come on, sun

In such beautiful weather

Dance, dance

I talk to him

With these two hands

O human brothers

War rages in Rwanda

In the evening

Promise me

I sent you

If I smile while you're away

Forgive me, my little one

Far from my arms

I came back home

Every morning

Remember

Under the bed

I'm not so old

I don't want to grow old

I promise you, Mother

I no longer have the patience

From my window

I wait for you when I'm awake

Dusk no longer has your eyes

Blessed are those who sleep deeply

First encounter

Look at me

Five years after our encounter

To confront so much pain

Each morning

At my door, two suitcases

The world is hard, my son

To love

"Why do we love them?

The Bread of Letters
