FENESTRA
(Cécile McLorin Salvant) 

Mamann Mélusine aida Wedo
Henoch
Apocryphe 19:

“C’est ici que les anges,
qui se sont unis aux femmes,
se tiendront.
Leurs esprits,
prenant de nombreuses apparences,
ont souillé les hommes,
et ils les feront errer
pour qu’ils sacrifient aux démons
comme à des dieux,
jusqu’au jour du grand jugement,
jour où ils seront jugés
pour être perdus.

Quant à leurs femmes,
qui ont séduit les anges,
elles deviendront des Sirènes.

Et moi, Hénoch, moi seul,
j’ai vu la vision,
la fin de tout ;
et aucun homme ne verra
comme moi j’ai vu”

Maman Mélusine Aida wedo

J’ai tellement eu besoin de toi
J’ai voulu pleurer dans tes bras
Mais tu ne voulais pas
M’as tu regardé même une seule fois
Quand je pleurais dans ma valise
Rue de l’opéra

Il l’épiait
Par le trou
Qu’il a fait
Avec son épée
Dans la porte de fer de son épouse

Son regard
Scopophile
Destructeur
Comme son épée
Dans le cœur de fée de son épouse

Il l’épiait
Par le trou
Qu’il a fait
Avec son épée
Dans le cœur de fer de son épouse

Tout à coup
Transformée
En dragon
Elle s’est envolé
Par la fenestra

Mélusine, here is her story
Aida Wedo, the window
Her image is only half of her

Mother
Mélusine
Aida Wedo

Enoch
Apocrypha 19:
“It is here that the angels
Who have united themselves with women
Will stand
Their spirits taking on many forms
Have sullied men
And they will make them wander
So that they may sacrifice to demons
As to gods
Until the day of the great judgement
The day they will be judged for being lost

And as for their women
Who have seduced the angels
They will become mermaids

And I, Enoch, I alone
I have seen the vision
The end of everything
And no other man
Will see as I saw”

Mother
Mélusine
Aida Wedo

I needed you so badly
I wanted to cry in your arms
But you didn’t want me to
Did you even look at me once
When I cried into my suitcase
On Rue de l’Opera

He spied on her
Through the hole
That he made
With his sword
In the iron door
Of his wife

His gaze
Scopophilic
Destructive
Like his sword
In the iron heart
Of his wife

He spied on her
Through the hole
That he made
With his sword
In the fairy heart
Of his wife

Suddenly
Transformed into a dragon
She flew away
Out the window
