an Ekphrastic poem in collaboration with Lilly o’Wisp (La Djinn) Je n'ai rien à n'en dire Sur la mante d'un âtre éteint sans flamme ni l'ombre, ni la lumière ne se caresses enfin Et que dirait la Djinn? Qu'en dirait-elle donc? Une larme coule, chaude et fine Petite bille de verre ronde NOW, in English… (The Djinn) There is nothing to say Nothing to tell On a burnt hearth Cinder tamed Light and shadow All the same What would've said the Djinn? What could she even say? A droplet of thin glass Tears of smoky grey Copyright © 2023 by Myriam Descendres All Rights Reserved

Thank you so much Joni, I really appreciate your kindness and your words. That series is special for me and for Wisp, because it was so long ago she did that kind of work of art (Zentangle or Line Arts) she had done it in university when we met each others. And to see her now drawing again is a blessing to me. I am so grateful to inspire her art with this wonderful mystical series. We will have the Sirens and the dragons too somewhere down the road. (In a month or two is my guess).
I thank you so much for me and on her behalf. May you have a wonderful week mlle Joni.
Hugs and love
Myriam 💌💌
