Les avions qui passent
Thursday Jan 04, 2007
Thursday Jan 04, 2007
J’étais stupéfaite, en rentrant chez moi tout à l’heure, de lever la tête et de voir dans le ciel un avion si bas.
Il était si bas que je pouvais distinguer son train d’atterrissage sorti. C’était un petit jet d’affaires qui devait se rendre à l’aéroport du Bourget.
Voilà, dans la direction dans laquelle je regardais ce sont les avions du Bourget qui passent. Mais plus à l’est, ce sont les avions qui décollent de Roissy qui passent au dessus de nos têtes.
C’est impressionnant de regarder dans cette direction dès que le jour tombe. On distingue les phares des avions qui décollent les uns après les autres à quelques minutes d’intervalle seulement.
Je crois que ça me fait peur tous ces avions. Surtout le soir, ceux qui sont en approche pour Le Bourget et dont le bruit ronflant descend comme une menace.
Oui, je suis une trouillarde! mais je ne suis pas la seule! ça me fait penser à une chanson de Francis Cabrel intitulée “J’ai peur de l’avion”. J’ai dû entendre cette chanson une fois dans ma vie, un matin au réveil, à moitié endormie, mais elle m’a marquée.
Je vous ai mis un lien vers les paroles sur mon site.
